## What is TalkingClock?

Talking Clock makes it easy to hear the time whenever you need it. With a clean, simple interface, the app speaks the current time aloud on demand, supports shake-to-speak, and lets you choose your preferred voice and 12- or 24-hour time format.

Set a spoken hourly chime, schedule an alarm, and use quiet hours to keep announcements silent when you do not want interruptions. Whether you are getting ready, working, cooking, exercising, or just keeping your phone nearby, Talking Clock gives you a hands-free way to stay aware of the time.

I downloaded this app because I was looking for a audible clock. I like the features shown, but they don’t work. I have an iPhone 13 Pro with iOS 17.0.3. Maybe an older version of iOS will work for others.
