A Primer on Word Clocks
Word Clock
Word clocks are an emerging trend this season in consumer electronics. Instead of the usual clock display, whether a clock face or digital readout, word clocks verbally announces the time of day. At regular intervals, these clocks will say, “It is twelve noon”, “it is ten past nine” or other announcements. While not as accurate as other clocks, word clocks are preferred by many people who want to avoid looking at the clock face all the time or just like the verbal reminder talking in the background.
Consumers have several choices for word clocks. There are some types of word clocks that are built-in a chassis and can be hung on a wall or propped on a table. Ranging from expensive time pieces to affordable devices, these can be given as a gift or used for personal consumption. Make sure to read the instruction manual in order to use the settings correctly.
Another type of word clock can be downloaded and operated on mobile devices. As most people now possess cellular phones and other portable gadgets, they can simply download a free app from the Internet or purchase an affordable program through online stores. These apps take advantage of the internal clocks and speakers built-in the device and transform them into handy alarms. These word clock apps also have plenty of features and settings to make them highly personalized.
Finally, desktops can be programmed to run word clock screensavers. These screensavers not only announce the time but will also display it on the screen. These programs can be downloaded for free from the Internet; use a search engine to locate the download sites.
