No more taking the phone out of your pocket to know what time it is.

Features & Capabilities

Talking Clock is a handy Chrome extension that enables you to hear the current time with just a simple click—no need to pull your phone out of your pocket. By clicking your power button 2-3 times while the background service runs, the extension uses text-to-speech technology to announce the time aloud. This is especially useful when you're on the go with earphones or your phone tucked away.

You can also set an interval for automatic time announcements, ensuring you're always aware of the time hands-free. If required, you may need to install the default Text-to-Speech data via your device's voice input and output settings. The developer encourages feedback and feature requests to continually improve the extension based on user needs.

not updated since 2012..(12 yrs) was a really good & useful app, once upon a time l. I even paid money for it. However shameless developer just deserted it, maybe didn't get him enough dough.. its not compatible with latest Android versions. GPay should do a sweep of old incompatible apps & purge them . They are both a Security & stability hazard. I was constantly getting System UI hanging on Note 9 (Android 10), Removing it solved the niggling issue..

It is a good app.. But it is sort of clunky. I think reading the time every minute is fine, but so is say being able to choose every 1/4, 1/2 and full hour.... or increments. And being able to vary to speed, pitch and gender of the speaker is a good feature.
