Time Please is an accessible talking clock app that speaks the current time, date, or battery percentage when you shake your phone.

Designed especially for visually impaired users, low-vision users, and anyone who wants quick spoken information without unlocking their phone, Time Please makes it easy to hear important information anytime through simple shake gestures.

Whether your phone is in your pocket, on your desk, or locked, you can quickly get spoken feedback without needing to look at the screen.
