 File Name :: Speaking Clock Author :: benjymous Category :: Tools - Fun Description :: This is a simple app knocked together in an afternoon. When run, your phone will read out the time time (with a posh female British accent!). To install, just unzip it, copy the clock folder to your storage card, and create a shortcut from the SpeakingClock.exe file to your start menu. Note that in this current version, the sounds have to be in \Storage Card\clock\ else it won't find them (if the clock just makes beeping noises, then that's why) Note: this will only work on an un-certified phone. If you want to modify this to use a different voice, just replace the wav files with your own (it should be fairly straightforward to work out what sounds are needed) History:
This will only work on smartphones that internally map the storage card as /Storage Card/ (As far as I'm aware, this includes all the Orange SPV models) Updated Fri, Feb 11 2005 3:48 pm View File -------------------- Help me! I'm turning into a grapefruit!

When I complete my current smartphone project I'll go back and make an updated 2003 version of Speaking Clock that'll be more intelligent, and so let you install the wavs wherever you like -------------------- Help me!

Is there anyway to get it on the main screen without having to go through the menus to access it ?

You can probably map a speed dial to it

It is cool. Specially useful in the dark. I put it at the first icon. It help me to know what time is from just pressing a button without seeing screen.

TIA You need to use a file manager on your phone - if you're using a c500, just run the pre-installed file manager, browse to the clock's .exe, select Menu -> File -> Create Shortcut, then select your storage\windows\start menu folder -------------------- Help me!

Mission accomplished ! This really is a great site, with so many knowledgeable and helpful people. I am a complete newbie with little or no knowlege of computers, and to be able to ask for help without getting flamed ( as happens on many other sites) is a real bonus.

It's cool - I like it!
I've installed it on an Orange C500 (developer unlock method applied in advance). Bunged the shortcut in 'Accessories' using the file manager Set a speed-dial of '24' on the shortcut (I have a lot of cool programs so 24 looked good) Binga Bonga All that's lacking really is a Windows feature...scheduled tasks - why Bill why didn't you? Without that, the program has to have the feature built-in, and also sits in memory all the time!!! - we need sheduled tasks feature in Windows Mobile 2003 (everybody chants....) :shock: |

QUOTE(Tech @ Aug 4 2005, 04:36) any chance of makin it import various sexy female voices? There's an alternative american female voice set here: http://grapefruitopia.com/smartphone/data/clock_american.zip (just unzip it and copy the wavs over the existing ones on your phone) But you can easily make your own, just replace the wavs with another voice - "intro.wav" is the bit at the beginning, so you could have a woman saying "hey sexy, it's.." rather than just "the time is" if you so desired ;-) -------------------- Help me!
