This small tutorial will make your PC speak out the time every hour. This will help especially if you’re a programer. Because programmers usually lose track of time.

Most Programmers don’t use a Windows OS. But there are some ! This tutorial is for those people.
Create a file named time.vbs containing these code :

Dim speaks, speech

  <div style="text-align: left;">
    <span style="background-color: white;"><span style="font-family: inherit; line-height: 25px; text-align: center;">speaks = "It is " & hour(time) & " O’clock"</span></span>
  </div>
  
  <p>
    <span style="font-family: inherit;"><span style="background-color: white;"></span></span>
  </p>
  
  <div style="text-align: left;">
    <span style="background-color: white;"><span style="font-family: inherit; line-height: 25px; text-align: center;">Set speech = CreateObject("sapi.spvoice")</span></span>
  </div>
  
  <p>
    <span style="font-family: inherit;"><span style="background-color: white;"></span></span>
  </p>
  
  <div style="text-align: left;">
    <span style="background-color: white;"><span style="font-family: inherit; line-height: 25px; text-align: center;">speech.Speak speaks</span></span>
  </div>
