This application tells the time and/or temperature at chosen intervals. It might make five separate announcements at times you can set. Besides, it can records short videos with selected camera which starts recording with a trigger you can set. Using TimeSpeaker you can make public time announcements periodically or special announcements at certain times while you are playing background music.
