Description

From the listing uploaded by “yiranno71”.

Allows you to with a simple click know what time it is without the need of taking your phone out of your pocket. You can also set an interval for automatic announcement of what the current time is. Usage: * click your power button 2-3 times while the background service is running and it will say in a text to speech voice what the current time is. * Used for example when you have earphones and telephone in your pocket, so you don't have to take it out to know what the time is. Info: * You might need to go into "voice input & output" -> "text to speech settings" to install TTS default data. * Request a feature and i'll probebly add it, i read all comments and mails, even if i do not answer. Give me some feedback in comments and suggestions about stuff you might want added

Talking Clock APK: questions and answers

Can I install this APK over the version I already have?

Only if it is signed with the same certificate as the copy on your phone and isn't an older version. If Android says “App not installed”, the certificates differ; uninstalling your copy first works but deletes its data unless it is backed up.

Is the Talking Clock APK safe?

No one can promise that a file is safe, but some things can be checked. The source store flagged this file with a security warning. After downloading, check that the file's MD5 is 216f8c45d1bf6c5209c087a2fb11d1d6.
