Speaking Clock

Speaking clock
Put a speaking clock into your webpage. A smart preload-feature ensures that the clock starts speaking 2 to 10 seconds after your webpage has been loaded. Easy one-step-installation. Easy configuration of speaking intervals. Internet Explorer 5x or higher.

Configuration:

Step 1: Open your webpage. Paste the following code right before the </body> tag of your webpage:

// IMPORTANT: 
// If you add this script to a script-library or a script-archive 
// you have to insert a link to http://www.fabulant.com 
// right into the webpage where the script will be displayed.

// Edit speaking interval (seconds)
 var speakinginterval=10

// Do not edit the code below this line
var thistime= new Date()
var hours=thistime.getHours()
var minutes=thistime.getMinutes()
var ampm
speakinginterval=1000*speakinginterval

if (hours<12) {
	ampm="am"
}
else if (hours>=12) {
	ampm="pm"
	if (hours!=12) {
		hours=hours-12
	}
}

function speakthetimeis() {
	document.getElementById('typesound').src="the_time_is.wav"
	var timer=setTimeout("speakhours()",1200)
}

function speakhours() {
	document.getElementById('typesound').src=hours+".wav"
	if (minutes<10) {
		var timer=setTimeout("speakzerominutes()",1200)
	}
	else {
		var timer=setTimeout("speakminutes()",1200)
	}
}

function speakzerominutes() {
	document.getElementById('typesound').src="0.wav"
	var timer=setTimeout("speakminutes()",600)
}

function speakminutes() {
	document.getElementById('typesound').src=minutes+".wav"
	var timer=setTimeout("speakampm()",1200)	
}

function speakampm() {
	document.getElementById('typesound').src=ampm+".wav"
	thistime= new Date()
	hours=thistime.getHours()
	minutes=thistime.getMinutes()	
	if (hours<12) {
		ampm="am"
	}
	else if (hours>=12) {
		ampm="pm"
		if (hours!=12) {
			hours=hours-12
		}
	}
	var content="<embed src=\""+hours+".wav\" autostart=\"false\" hidden=\"true\">"
	content+="<embed src=\""+minutes+".wav\" autostart=\"false\" hidden=\"true\">"	
	soundcontainer.innerHTML=content
	var timer=setTimeout("speakthetimeis()",speakinginterval)	
}

document.write("<span id=\"soundcontainer\" style=\"position:relative;\">")
document.write("<embed src=\""+hours+".wav\" autostart=\"false\" hidden=\"true\">")
document.write("<embed src=\""+minutes+".wav\" autostart=\"false\" hidden=\"true\">")
document.write("<embed src=\""+ampm+".wav\" autostart=\"false\" hidden=\"true\">")
document.write("</span>")
document.write("<embed src=\"0.wav\" autostart=\"false\" hidden=\"true\">")
document.write("</span>")
window.onload=speakthetimeis

</script>
<embed src="the_time_is.wav" autostart="false" hidden="true">
<bgsound id="typesound">

Step 2: Download the zipped file soundzip.zip and extract the folder soundfiles.

Step 3: Put the folder soundfiles into the same folder as the webpage that contains the code for your speaking clock.

Step 4: Set the speaking interval on top of the script. In this sample the speaking interval is set to 10 seconds.
