Daily Trick 19. Time Announcer
Advertisements
While we're kept occupied by some tasks, we may have lose the attention of the time, and may miss certain important events.
But with using Mac, you can set the clock to auto-announce the time every hour. Setting can be made easily with these steps:
- Go to your menubar and there you should be able to find your clock displayed
- Click it and choose Open Date & Time…
- Go under Clock section
- Tick the checkbox: Announce the Time
Not only set it to announce every hour, but there is also options for you to set the announcement to be made at interval of half hour or even quarter hour.
Obviously, don't try this in your office with your volume turned to maximum. You will annoy your colleagues, especially if you're using Hysterical as your custom voice.

Is there any way to do this without parental controls?

I figured this trick a few months ago. I used it for a while, but it kind of sucks when you put on a movie when your about to go to bed, and every hour you hear the voice.

this feature is cool but I hate osx for not giving me the chance to decide a time window for this to happen. When I leave the computer running, say downloading a torrent overnight, I don't want to be woke up at 4 am cause it keeps saying time.
So if I could define "say time between 10 am and 10 pm" I would be super happy.
Any tricks for this?
