RE: Looking for an hourly chime app
I've been working with the developer of Talking Time, $1.99, and I can say with certainty that having it speak the time in one of several VoiceOver voices works great, I cannot get the ding pattern to work, however. He just released the latest update to the App Store. IF having it speak is OK, you can set it to the hour, quarter hour, half, and 3 quarters. The developer has been amazingly responsive. Here is the info I put on my web page. Talking Time, $1.99 by Fortuisoft * Talking Time speaks the time on the hour, half-hour and/or quarter-hour. * "Set and forget". The app only runs during setup so you can do other stuff with your phone, and it won't run down your battery. The developer is very responsive and working to make the app as accessible as possible. I reached out to him about the app before purchasing it and he put me in touch with Pam Coffey, who is another VoiceOver user who had sorted out how to setup the app. She shared the below with me and gave me permission to pass it along. How to set up the Talking Time app, written by Pam Coffey. When you open the app, the entire screen is taken up by the in-app settings. The first button is labeled "Unpronounceable". That takes you to what is supposed to be the tutorial, which you might as well ignore. The next item simply says " Set desired schedule then exit the app." Next is Background Sound, which needs to be turned on, if you want it to run in background. Now, here's the tricky part: Schedule. When you double-tap Schedule, there are four columns of time indications: on-hour , beginning with midnight at the top of the screen, and ending with 11 PM at the base of the column; quarter past, beginning with 12:15 AM, and ending with 11:15 PM at the base of the column; half-past, beginning and ending with 12:30 AM and 11:30 PM; and three-quarters past, arranged in the same way. If you wish, for example, to have it alert you every 15 minutes throughout the day, beginning at 6:30 AM and ending at 10:30 PM, you will double-tap 6:30 AM and long press (also known as double-tap and hold) on 10:30 PM. Next, double-tap on 6:45 AM, and long press 9:45 PM. Then, double-tap 7 AM, and Lon press 10 PM. Finally, double-tap 7:15 AM, and long press 10:15 PM. If you _only want it to alert you at a few times of the day, simply double-tap the times you wish to be alerted (e.g., 6:30 AM, 8 AM, 2:45 PM, 6 PM and 10 PM). I assume that, if you have selected a time and then wish to deselect it, double-tapping it again will toggle it off. If you wish to deselect _all of the selected times within a column, find the one nearest the top of that column, and long press it. Now that you've done all of that, hit the Back button. The next heading is Voice, under which the first option is "Ding only", which can be turned on or off. The next item is actually "Voice". Here, you can choose from among a number of speaking voices; and, you can also choose speaking rate (which is a bit quirky), whether or not you want it to begin with "The time is ...",., and whether or not you want it to include AM and PM. Once you've set these options, double-tap "Save"; then, the next item is Volume. The volume setting for this app is related to that of the ringer and alerts; therefore, if you wish to make a major change in the volume, you may need to go to your general settings, choose "Sounds and Haptics", and enable "Change with Ringer and Alerts"-at least until you have it set to your preference. By the way, you are limited to 64 alerts throughout the day. The remaining items are "It's Not Working", "Feedback", "Share", and "About". The developer, Mark Sydow, added a feature where it speaks whether a time is set or cleared when setting up the schedule. Plus, now in iOS 15.1, you can turn off all the notification settings other than Allow Notifications, and Sounds. This way it doesn't clutter up your notification center.

RE: Looking for an hourly chime app
Hi Richard. I just bought talking time and I have some questions. I've tried setting it up from 8 am to 10 pm to speak every 15 minutes. The odd thing is that when I Do the double tap and long press on the end time it sometimes says the time is set an hour after I actually set it. When I go back and tried to change the time to the hour I actually want it says clear. For example, I set the clock using the double tap for 8 am, flicked right until I came to 10 pm, did a double tap and hold and the clock said 9 am to 10 pm. So I went back to 8 am to re-set it and did a double tap and it said 8 am clear. Am I doing something wrong? Thanks. I hope this makes sense. God bless!

You are doing it right. The logic is, I think, that you already set the first hour. So when you long press on the last hour, it only reports the hours you have added, so since 8AM was already set, it tells you that you have now set 9 through 10.

Re: Looking for an hourly chime app
Did you go into settings, Notifications, Talking Time, and make sure that only the allow notifications at the top is on, and that sound is on. Make sure none of the notification lock screen, notification center, or banners are selected. And, make sure the app is not in the app switcher. A test you can run once you have checked that is to open the app, double tap on the spot that says It's not working, close the app out of the app switcher and lock your phone. if you do that fast enough, you should then hear a message in your chosen voice saying something like if you can hear this you have the settings correct.

RE: Looking for an hourly chime app
Well, I figured out part of the problem. It helps if you have the phone unmuted. I forgot I muted it! That could explain it! I think this app will work fine for what I want. Thanks for the info and your patience. God bless! Paula and the pups.

Make sure none of the notification lock screen, notification center, or banners are selected. And, make sure the app is not in the app switcher. A test you can run once you have checked that is to open the app, double tap on the spot that says It's not working, close the app out of the app switcher and lock your phone. if you do that fast enough, you should then hear a message in your chosen voice saying something like if you can hear this you have the settings correct.

The logic is, I think, that you already set the first hour. So when you long press on the last hour, it only reports the hours you have added, so since 8AM was already set, it tells you that you have now set 9 through 10.

I just bought talking time and I have some questions. I've tried setting it up from 8 am to 10 pm to speak every 15 minutes. The odd thing is that when I Do the double tap and long press on the end time it sometimes says the time is set an hour after I actually set it. When I go back and tried to change the time to the hour I actually want it says clear. For example, I set the clock using the double tap for 8 am, flicked right until I came to 10 pm, did a double tap and hold and the clock said 9 am to 10 pm. So I went back to 8 am to re-set it and did a double tap and it said 8 am clear. Am I doing something wrong? Thanks. I hope this makes sense. God bless!

Here is the info I put on my web page. Talking Time, $1.99 by Fortuisoft * Talking Time speaks the time on the hour, half-hour and/or quarter-hour. * "Set and forget". The app only runs during setup so you can do other stuff with your phone, and it won't run down your battery. The developer is very responsive and working to make the app as accessible as possible. I reached out to him about the app before purchasing it and he put me in touch with Pam Coffey, who is another VoiceOver user who had sorted out how to setup the app. She shared the below with me and gave me permission to pass it along.

I had to laugh out loud. I did the same thing at one point early with the app. Enjoy, Richard “Reality is the leading cause of stress for those who are in touch with it.” – Jane Wagner My Web site: https://www.turner42.com From: viphone@googlegroups.com On Behalf Of Paula Jordan Sent: Sunday, October 31, 2021 6:15 PM To: viphone@googlegroups.com Subject: RE: Looking for an hourly chime app Well, I figured out part of the problem.
