TIME OUT LOUD: talking timer

TIME OUT LOUD is a voice stopwatch – it announces the elapsed time out loud at regular intervals, so you never have to look at the screen while running, training or working.

⏱️ SPOKEN TIME
• Announcements every 1, 5, 10, 15, 30 seconds or every minute
• Choose the format: plain seconds, or hours, minutes and seconds
• Grammatically correct phrasing in every language
• Adjustable speech rate and volume, with a voice test button
• Mute the voice anytime with a single tap

🔒 KEEPS RUNNING IN THE BACKGROUND
• The stopwatch keeps going with the screen locked or while using other apps
• Control it straight from the notification: Start/Stop, Lap/Reset and mute – icons visible immediately, no expanding needed
• The current time is shown in the notification in the same format as in the app
• Optional: stop announcing while the app is minimized (the stopwatch keeps running)

🏁 LAPS AND SPLIT TIMES
• Record laps with one tap – history of individual lap durations
• Live split time of the current lap right on the main screen
• Optionally announce the lap time instead of the total time
• Optional spoken countdown before each lap

🚦 COUNTDOWN BEFORE START
• 3, 5 or 10 seconds, spoken aloud precisely on the second
• Ends with "Start" in your chosen language

🌍 13 LANGUAGES AND VOICES
Slovak, Czech, English (US/UK), German, French, Spanish, Italian, Polish, Hungarian, Ukrainian, Russian, Dutch, Portuguese (PT/BR). One selection switches both the voice and the app language.
