Clock Talk ver 1.2 Introduction ============ Clock Talk was originally written for my own business. I wanted to have a program that would announce the time to me while I was busy doing other things, either on the computer or in the other room. I had a sound card, so I figured there had to be a program out there that would be just what I was looking for. I found a few that were pretty good, but not exactly what I wanted. Other than some features they were missing, they seemed to take a lot of my system resources to run. System resources are not something that I take lightly. So Clock Talk was born. Clock Talk is a Microsoft Windows program whose purpose is to announce the time of day along with many other features. It uses digitized human speech reproduced through a sound card or by using Microsoft's Speaker Driver for 286 - 486 computers. The program will function in all Windows modes: Real, Standard, or Enhanced.
