Speaking Clock

Speaking Clock

A small utility that speaks (usually current) time in specified language. Uses ElevenLabs API to generate the speech. Supports caching and reusing audio files so free ElevenLabs access is more than enough. Handy to sit in cron jobs to periodically announce the time.

Features

  • Gets the current time and speaks it in specified language
  • Uses ElevenLabs API for high-quality text-to-speech
  • Caches generated audio files for quick reuse
  • Supports both 12-hour and 24-hour time formats
  • Optional audio chime before speaking the time
  • Parallel processing - prepares audio while chime is playing
  • Overlaid audio playback with configurable timing offset
  • Command-line interface driven, perfect for background jobs like Cron
