David Gibson's Speaking Clock

  

The time is:
This clock does not actually speak. You have to do the talking yourself. Would it be easier, in a radio broadcast studio, for presenters to read the time from a display like this, than from a conventional clock? (If you think so, dont forget that I own Design Right and Copyright in this product. If you want the source code, please ask!)

This clock functions by running a JavaScript aplication on your computer. If the time it shows is wrong this is because the time on your computer is wrong! You can correct the time on your computer by running an application that synchronises your machine to a time server. Consult your operating system's Help document or ask your ISP.

The phrases, and the times at which they are applied, can of course easily be altered. If the Time Text appears very small then your browser does not understand the code, and may need upgrading. Click here for FULL SCREEN version

Using a notation which allows the minutes and seconds to be negative, and which includes a 'half-minute' count, this is equivalent to

which is used to derive the text opposite, using a bit of JavaScript. (Alternatively, download my earlier DOS demo).

Internet Explorer 3 doesnt fully support CSS - the text in the boxes will not be as large as it should be.
