Hope this helps.
Hi Rosemary,
You will find the Talking Desktop Clock submenu under All Programs on the
Start menu. You will notice that the submenu contains two options. Hitting
Enter on Talking Desktop Clock launches the program itself, which runs in
the backround as a process and thus has no window of its own. Hitting Enter
on Talking Desktop Clock Options launches the user interface from where all
settings can be accessed. Use the View menu to switch between the Speech,
Chime and Clock interfaces. For all intents and purposes, the Clock
interface is irrelevant, unless you still have some sight and want to select
a clock style to display on your desktop. On the Speech interface, check
all three time interval check boxes if you want the time announced at every
quarter-hour interval. Check only the hour box if you just want the time
announced at the top of every hour. Use the arrow keys to select the voice
of your choice (I think the default voice is Sapi5 Daniel, the British
chap). Adjust the volume to your preference with the arrow keys. Note that
the clock voice volume is independent of the system volume, so you can make
it as loud or soft as you want without affecting the system volume. To hear
the Starting and Ending Times, press Insert-Numpad 5. You can use the up
and down arrow keys to change the hour and minute of the Starting and Ending
times, but JAWS will not speak each press of the arrow keys; you must press
Insert-Numpad 5 after each press of the arrow key to confirm the change, so
be very careful. The starting and ending times can be used to specify the
time during which you want to hear the time announcements. When you have
finished adjusting the speech settings, Go to the View menu and select
Chimes to bring up the Chimes interface. Arrow around the list of chime
sounds to find one you like. There are some real wacky ones. As on the
Speech interface, check all three time interval boxes if you want to hear
the chime sound along with the time announcement at quarter-hour intervals.
And set the Starting and Ending times as you did in the Speech interface.
Note that on both the Speech and Chime interfaces, you can preview your
selections so you can hear what they sound like. Once you have set up the
program, you can close the interface with Alt-F4. Once the clock is
running, it will announce the time at every quarter-hour interval, followed
by the selected chime sound. Unlike APH Clock, it will not chime multiple
times at the top of the hour. If you want to unload the program, go to the
System menu of the interface and selectExit Talking Desktop Clock. That's
it. Enjoy!
Gerald

Subject: [Blind-Computing] setting the desktop talking clock
Hi, everyone. I had my friend install the desktop talking clock but I
don't know how to tell him to set it. I told him I'd ask the group. Any
help would be very much appreciated.
Many thanks in advance.

Hi, John. I had my friend reinstall the APH talking clock and the same
thing happened. It was an hour behind so he wanted to install the new
desktop talking clock. Now he doesn't know how to set it and I don't know
how to so I can help him do it.

My internal clock is correct on the time.
What I had to do is uninstall the APH Clock & down load it once more.
just have to find the link for it once again.

There are no user adjustable settings in APH Talking Clock, which uses
the
internal computer clock to keep time. Be sure the internal computer
clock
is correct by pressing Insert-F12. It sounds like it may not have
readjusted for Daylight Savings Time. Go to the Date and Time option on
the Control Panel, access the Time Zone page, and make sure that the
automatically adjust clock for daylight savings changes box is checked.
You can also reset the current time manually if neceassary. Once the
computer clock is corrected, APH Talking Clock should work fine.

Subject: [Blind-Computing] a friend's APH talking clock is running an

Hi, everyone. I'm reposting this question because I realize I ran a
couple of words together. Anyway, a friend's APH talking clock is
running an hour behind. I had him uninstall and reinstall it but it's
still not running correctly. Is there a way he can set it so it runs
correctly? Any help would be very much appreciated.
Many thanks in advance.
