"Perfect, Simple System Tray Speaking Alarm Clock"
Version: Multilingual Speaking Clock 2.6
Pros
Unobtrusive, Simple, Elegant
I set up to say aloud the time on the hour and it has helped me stop losing track of time when I become immersed on the computer as well as daily alarm just like a physical clockCons
None for my purposes

"I just love this little widget!"
Version: Multilingual Speaking Clock 2.6
Pros
I enjoy hearing the time announce while I am working and the alarm features are very configurable.
Cons
So far it has behaved well so I have no comment about anything being wrong with it.
Summary
This is a fun widget to have. I have another that shows time under the cursor so now I'm well set for time keepers. Thanks again.

"Nifty but would like more"
Version: Multilingual Speaking Clock 2.6
Pros
Fun. Nifty. Very helpful when I want to keep track of my time when working on a project. I set it for every 15 minutes, which may be a bit excessive. But that's what I like about it: versatility.
Cons
Would like the option of a visual time announcement when I'm recording something. Nothing more annoying than nearing the end of a recording and hearing "The time is now 12:15 pm" mixed into the recording! Also, need more voice options/languages.
Summary
It's free so I can't complain too much.

"Cute 'lil bug.. I used it every day."
Version: Multilingual Speaking Clock 2.6
Pros
Free utility that talks in many languages.. check the updated version, it now has Spanish, both European and South American (male voices) and Norwegian (young female voice) as well as thirty other voices from Afrikaans to Turkish...
Cons
The voices are a bit metallic.. As far as the sys tray clock goes, all you have to do is click on properties (on the opened task bar) click on the notification area of taskbar/start menu prop. (windows vista) and uncheck the clock under system icons.
Summary
Let me tell you, the freebie is fine but for those who love to pittle, the deluxe is the way to go.. This one is very affordable and it can actually talk to you (via the speech synthesis options in languages and modes of the announce section) and has too many optional goodies to describe (such as the text-to-speech agent selector).. I am totally sold on this little product and this free 2.6 clock is just the beginning.. After downloading this program and starting it for the first time, click on the web site (found in about/register or help) for some more freebies (language downloads, upgrade, versa timer, etc.).. Have fun..
Still having fun with this 'lil toy.. Can now create conversations via languages/modes.. The soon to be released 3.62 will include mp3 and wma.

"Doesn't support norwegian"
Version: Multilingual Speaking Clock 2.6
Pros
Good clock, for the english speaking part of the world.
Cons
Doesn't support norwegian.
Doesn't replace the Windows sys tray clock - it should...Summary
Seems like a software for other than the norwegian population, and since I'm from Norway, I just have to give it the thumbs down. Tried to download and install the norwegian language pack, but it never worked... So this software is no longer on my PC...
