Make timing as easy as it’s ever been with SpeakTimer: the timer that speaks. SpeakTimer is a handy app that can be used as a personal assistant to keep you on track with a plethora of day-to-day activities in life, such as cooking, revision, workouts or taking a nap. It fulfils this through its ability to deliver speech at any points you choose, its high level of customisability to suit your specific needs, and the ability to see multiple timers at once. Voice alerts are fully customisable: the speech to be spoken is completely up to you, and so is the time at which it happens - the app is optimised to make the process of adding these very simple. You can choose to add single voice alerts here and there, or to repeat speech at regular intervals as the timer counts down. You do not have to add speech if you do not want to. After downloading the app, you will be able to enjoy the many features SpeakTimer has to offer (note that some will require a SpeakTimer PRO subscription): - Hear speech as timers count down and when they end - Hear voice alerts when the app is in the background - Works with iOS multitasking - Sleek, clean design - Extremely simple to use - Two types of timer: Quick Timer (to quickly set a timer up) and Custom Timer (to customise what the timer says and when) - Speaking stopwatches - Store and run timers simultaneously - View active timers in isolation - Reorder, delete and reset timers easily - Edit timers - ‘Jump To’ feature (allows you to jump to any point in the timer) - Change the navigation bar colour - Times to the second - Tailor timers, the interface and the app to your preferences easily Privacy Policy: https://www.iubenda.com/privacy-policy/72988728 Terms and Conditions: https://www.iubenda.com/terms-and-conditions/72988728
