- INTRODUCTION
- ------------
- Yakkity Clock is a fun, easy-to-use "talking clock" utility for
- the Microsoft Windows operating environment.
-
- Yakkity Clock literally "tells" you the time at the press of a
- button -- or at easily configured intervals from once every hour
- to once every minute. A number of built-in sound effects can be
- substituted for the "interval" voice time -- you can even set up
- Yakkity Clock to bark like a dog!
-
- Yakkity Clock is an alarm clock, too! Up to four independent
- alarms can be set and enabled quickly and easily. Plus, the
- alarm feature can be configured to play either of the two
- standard sounds OR any stand-alone .WAV sound file located in
- the Yakkity Clock directory!
