Speaking Clock: TellMeTheTime

Andreas Meyer

About this app

Tell Me The Time provides a speaking clock and a talking night clock. This app tells you the current time, when you are currently not able to take a look on your clock, for example if you ride by bicycle or by motorcycle, drive a car or you lying in the morning in your bed and want to know what time it is and if you can continue sleeping.

This speaking clock app is ideal for all biker, bicyclist, car driver, sports person, visually impaired persons or all persons who are currently not able to take a look on their watch.

An announcement of time can be trigger from the speaking clock automatically in a selected time interval or by pressing the headset button, by shaking the device or by wiping your hand over the proximity sensor of the phone. With the special night clock mode, you do not need to open your eyes, just wave your hand over the phone and the time will be announced. Additionally in this mode the screen can be activated and the time can be displayed.

A time announcement can be triggered by:
- a selected time interval
- pressing the headset button
- wiping with your hand over the proximity sensor
- shaking the device
- power button
The time can be announced in a system independent volume.
The format and the style of the speaking clock is individual adjustable.
The text and background colors of the nightstand clock are free configurable.
The night clock automatically starts when the mobile device is connected to a power supply.

IMPORTANT! A text-to-speech engine must be installed, like for example Google TTS, IVONA TTS, Vocalizer TTS or SVOX Classic TTS. The TTS engine is not part of this application and can be downloaded from the Play Store. The quality of the voice depends from the installed TTS engine.

Ratings and reviews

I like it a lot but lately it seems to have weird glitches. 1 I said it for 15 minutes, but not on the quarter hour, and it tells me the time not on the quarter hours. 2 I accidentally leave it on when I go to sleep, and sleep mode, we're only one app is allowed to operate and it's not this, and it's still announcing the time. I've read every single control and I don't know how to fix it.

Useful!! Best audible / speaking clock app that I have tried! (Though thats a low bar, most have not worked.) This works pretty well for reading the time at a set interval, which is my main use, and also reads the time when you tap it. Its very simple, and it does the thing I need it to. I dont know how well the night clock settings work, as I usually turn it off instead. I cannot get the colors to change, so it's stuck on red, but that's a minor disappointment.

I loved this app, I had it on a few phones and always worked fine. Last phone I had it on was a Galaxy S7. I switched to a Galaxy S10 and it has stopped. Any idea what's going on? I think it's a bug, maybe something with the current version of Android that's making it malfunction. It'll normally anounce the time once within the first 5 minutes and then will stop.
