New App Allows OS X To Speak Reminders

· by Kyle D\'Addario · News

Charmed Baryon Software has released a new application that allows Mac OSX to speak timed reminders, SpeakTime. SpeakTime 2.0 not only speaks the current time, but users can set announcements for the program to speak, providing a twist on the classic alarm/reminder application. According to Charmed Baryon Software:

SpeakTime is a background application which allows your mac to speak a user specified phrase on start up, speak the time at different intervals specifying the voice and volume, and announce any number of custom phrases at user specified times and dates with custom voice and volume. SpeakTime uses the Speech Manager and Carbon Library, which are both available with Mac OS 8.6 and above.

SpeakTime is available for US$15. You can find more information at the Charmed Baryon Software Web site.
