Reviewed by: CNET Staff
This software alarm clock earns big points for its extensive features and flexibility. Talking Time Keeper lets you schedule alarms, set timers, and check world times. It comes with two voices, male and female, with a chance to download more from the developer's site, including a Morgan Freeman sound-alike. You can even create your own voice with a built-in editor. But the extensive alarm features are the real strength here. For example, you can set picture alarms with MP3 audio and schedule programs to launch at a certain time. There's even an interactive global day-and-night map with accurate sunrise and sunset times. The main-menu interface is compact and intuitive, and it supports skins for greater customization. A simple screensaver displays the current time and the world map. Given all that, we think Talking Time Keeper is a reasonable download for those who want a time manager with a human touch.Publisher's description
From Mark Judge :Talking Time Keeper is a fully featured desktop time package. Its features include the ability to announce the time using real voices, including celebrity sound-alike voices (either at the click of a button or at specified intervals), plus chimes (including Grandfather Clock mode), alarms and timers, which display messages and pictures, run programs, shutdown your PC, speak, and play sounds and MP3s, all with a snooze option. The application includes a calendar displaying upcoming alarms; more than 250 world-time locations (editable); a day-and-night world map; the phases of the moon; stopwatches with lap timers; and atomic time synchronization. The program also includes a voice-building tool (all you need is a microphone), and a skin building tool. You can decide exactly what is heard or displayed, and even add a personal touch by displaying a photo. Also included are screensaver and world day and night wallpaper options.
Version 17.2 added two more Countdown timer options - one to countdown to a specific time and date, and one to automatically repeat the countdown.

Version: Talking Time Keeper 17.2
"Tells time, sets reminders, alarms, everything you could want in one"
Pros: This is a well made software package. It provides reminders, alarms, and timers to help you keep track of time. Its customizable to put your own touch on it. In short, its got whatever you could want in time-keeping.
Cons: For those of us who like freeware, after 30 days you have to pay to use it again. Would be better if features were simply disabled, but this gives you a chance to try it out.

Version: Talking Time Keeper 17.2
Pros: This is a good piece of software. It adds customization and a nice personal touch to your clock. It also has a good alarm system.
Cons: You only get it for 30 days unless you're willing to pay for it, when there is freeware out there that will offer some of the same functions, just not all in one package.

Version: Talking Time Keeper 17.2
"Does much more than talk the time"
Pros: Talking Time Keeper has so many features, I don't know if I can type all of them. When you left click on the icon,(in your system tray) it speaks the time, shows a calander with today's date and shows your favorite photo. When you right click on the icon the main menue appears, showing all the features,( alarms, day and night world map, hours til sunrise and sunset, more skins, stop watch, program launcher, wallpaper changer, countdown timer, time synchroniser, and more. I think Mark Judge did an excellant job in creating this masterpiece. Try it, you will love it!
