A clean, easy to use, customisable Timer with text to speech (TTS) interval alerts
Talking Timer - Custom Speaking Timer Application
This app was born out of necessity for a simple timer that would notify me at various intervals during a countdown. I developed this app specifically for use while creating digital paintings as part of a Daily Spitpaint challenge (time-limited to 30mins) . Feeling that this app could be useful to others, I decided to make it customisable for all purposes.
FEATURES
• Clean and easy to use
• Customisable timer duration
• Customisable Text to Speech (TTS) alerts at specific intervals
• Can be easily \"pinned\" to the Taskbar (Windows) or Dock area (Mac)
• Option to keep application always on top of other windows
How to \"Pin\" Talking Timer to Taskbar/Dock
The Talking Timer was created as a Chrome App so to that it could be easily \"pinned\" to the Taskbar (Windows)/Dock (Mac) for quick access, without the need to open Chrome. To \"pin\" Talking Timer for quick access, perform the following steps:
• Click to [Open Apps] in Chrome
• Click on the Talking Timer to run it
• Now Right-click the Talking Timer icon in the Taskbar/Dock area
• ...and select \"Pin to Taskbar\"/\"Keep in Dock\" option
