## Description

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.
