Программа Voice Time - это голосовое оповещение о времени на русском языке, работающее в фоновом режиме. Установленная на Ваш iPhone/iPod/iPad, она будет сообщать Вам о текущем времени. Voice Time - это не глупая "кукушка" напоминающая о времени и днем и ночью. Вы можете указать рабочее время, когда нужны сообщения о времени, а в остальное время программа вас не потревожит. Voice Time может сама подстроиться под установленный Вами уровень громкости при просмотре видео, прослушивании музыки, при звонке и даже в играх. Если Вы находитесь в кинотеатре, на совещании или у врача и ВЫКЛЮЧИЛИ звук, Voice Time не потревожит Вас в эти моменты. Сначала мы не решались добавить Таймер в программу, ведь он уже есть в iOS, но затем мы поняли чего в iOS нет — АВТОПОВТОРА. Поняв это, было решено сделать таймер в Voice Time. Уверенность в этом добавило осознание того, сколько разнообразных задач требуют таймера с функцией автоповтора. Например для массажистов, поваров, спортсменов, музыкантов и так далее и так далее. Так же эта программка будет полезна для тех, кто регулярно выполняет рутинные задачи дома или на работе. Оповещения с интервалом в час или полчаса, помогут сохранять ритм и темп работы, без необходимости отрывать взгляд и искать часы. Одним словом, эта программа для тех кто ценит время и привык его контролировать. Возможности программы: • Таймер с автоповтором и выбором от 1 мин. до 60 мин. • 1 час - Оповещения о текущем времени каждый час • 30 мин - Оповещения о текущем времени каждые полчаса • Стоп - Отключение оповещений о времени Программе не требуется для работы Интернет подключение. Настроив и запустив программу один раз, Вам больше не нужно к ней возвращаться, разве что, Вы пожелаете изменить настройки. Вы можете даже выключить программу и перезагрузить телефон, она сохранит все Ваши настройки и продолжит сообщать Вам точное время, без необходимости повторного запуска самой программы.
