About Speaking Clock
A simple app to recreate the Speaking Clock on UK telephone services.
Do you feel nostalgic for the old telephone speaking clock, but don't want to pay a minimum of 50p every time you hear it? This is the app for you. It also allows alarms to be set, to wake you to the sound of the Speaking Clock.
For speech, the app uses Android's Text-to-Speech, and you can select the voice to use, normally in "Accessibility" settings.

User reviews
Very good App
It is good - The old Post Master General in Australia had the same thing, from the days when the only way to set your clock or watch accurately, was by national radio, the solar sun dial or the telephone. The thing is that people only ever used it to set their time keepers. Otherwise they never used it. Good effort....
Exactly what I was looking for this morning to set the clocks in my house! Other apps don't include the pips and don't announce every 10 seconds. Thank you!
Fun clock nice graphics v nostalgic
