Talking Clock: Time Announcer

Talking Clock announces the current time at intervals you choose — every 1, 2, 5, 10, 15, 30, or 60 minutes. It actually works with your screen off, survives phone reboots, and never interrupts you with ads. ⏰ THE TALKING CLOCK THAT ACTUALLY WORKS Unlike other time announcer apps, Talking Clock uses precise alarm scheduling to deliver announcements on time, every time.
