Introduction 
============ 
 
Clock Talk was originally written for my own business.  I wanted to have a program that would announce the time to me while I was busy doing other things, either on the computer or in the other room.  I had a sound card, so I figured there had to be a program out there that would be just what I was looking for. 
 
I found a few that were pretty good, but not exactly what I wanted.  Other than some features they were missing, they seemed to take a lot of my system resources to run.  System resources are not something that I take lightly.  So Clock Talk was born. 
 
Clock Talk is a Microsoft Windows program whose purpose is to announce the time of 
day along with many other features.  It uses digitized human speech reproduced through a sound card or by using Microsoft's Speaker Driver for 286 - 486 computers.  The program will function in all Windows modes: Real, Standard, or Enhanced.
