About this app

Talking Clock by Mr Moo is a speaking clock that runs in the background and announces the time at intervals you choose, on your phone and your Wear OS watch.
Ideal for when your hands are full, you're away from a clock, or you just want to stay on track without looking at a screen.

Whether you're cooking, cleaning, working out or driving, Talking Clock quietly keeps you informed.

New in 1.6.0:
• Wear OS app: hear the time on your wrist at the interval you choose, even when your phone isn't nearby
• Optional settings sync: change a setting on your phone or watch and it follows on the other
• Announce now: hear the time with one tap, whenever you like
• Smoother, more natural-sounding announcements

Features:
• Clear time announcements using Android's built-in text-to-speech
• Announcement intervals from every minute to every hour
• Adjustable announcement speed
• Customisable announcement prefix so you can set exactly what you hear
• Optionally include the day, date and month in every announcement
• 24-hour time format support
• Quiet Hours so you can set a time window where announcements are automatically silenced
• Runs quietly in the background with a notification icon so you always know it's active
• Pauses and resumes other audio automatically during announcements
• Silent during phone calls
• Respects Do Not Disturb and silent mode by default, or override if you need it
• Prefer Headphones option to send announcements to your headphones
• Light and dark theme, following your system setting
• No ads, no account, no internet access needed

Ratings and reviews

Pretty good talking clock. The previous version had issues with reading some times in a very weird way, which has been fixed. It's still a little awkward in some ways, but not too bad. If this were polished and a few more options for announcement interval added, I think it would be pretty much perfect.

Good that it has a sleep schedule, but the way it reads time is awkward, either too fast or too slow. Maybe add a slider and an option to not say AM/PM. The option to read day and day of the week is nice, but it would be better if you could set the interval for that like once or twice a day.

This app is very easy to set up. Not only does it tell you the time,it also announces the date. It's accurate and so far is proving reliable. Recommended.
