Description:
Talk To Me is a simple voice clock application that will say out loud the current time on your device everytime you launch an executable (vasquez.exe).
To configure the options use the setup.exe in the archive.
Tested on HTC P4350 Herald with stock WM6 unbranded.
Installation:
Place the contents of the zip in a folder wherever you like on the device, then link buttons or shortcuts at leisure to vasquez.exe.
Settings:
The file setup.exe modifies the few settings for the app:
- Actor: which sounds set to use (only default available for now).
- Format: hh mm only for now, to be joined by "o'clock", "and a half", "quarter to" and so on.
- AM/PM: use am/pm or not where appropriate.
- 12/24: use a 12 or 24 hours cycle (Note that using 24 hours the AM/PM setting is ignored).
Bottom Line:
While easy to use and learn, it has its downs:
- An app that would have taken a few kbs requires instead more than 2mb, because of having to pack the interpreter together with the code (only to be expected really).
- It takes a while to run the app (each exe being ~1.2mb) and it feels oddly wrong having to wait a few seconds for such a settings menu to appear (you'll see what I mean if you try).
