提供整点语音报时,自定义提醒,以及显示时间功能。
功能概述
报时时钟提供了整点语音报时与自定义提醒功能,适合为日常工作生活提供周期性的报时和提醒。
另外也可以显示时间日期。
提醒方式包括语音提醒和系统通知两种形式。
此扩展特别适合需要长时间面对电脑工作的人,比如作家、程序员、远程办公、室内办公的人士。
• 整点报时有助于在专注工作的同时把握好时间节奏,做好时间管理。
• 自定义提醒适合各种周期性的日常事务,比如“每天中午11:30提醒该吃饭了”。
1. 整点报时功能
每隔一段时间,扩展会通过语音引擎和系统通知播报当前时间。
报时的时间间隔可在扩展选项-报时设置中设置,包括:
5分钟/10分钟/15分钟/20分钟/30分钟/1小时/2小时/3小时。
另外,还有几个(已默认开启)的免打扰设置,比如浏览器全屏或播放视频时不提醒。
2. 自定义提醒功能
用户可以添加自定义的提醒。支持的类型包括:
• 仅一次:即只在特定的某一天提醒。
• 每日提醒:在每天的一个或多个时间提醒。
• 每周提醒:可选择周一至周日的一天或多天。
• 每月提醒:可选择每月1号至最后一天的一天或多天。
• 每年提醒:可选择每年的某一天或多天提醒,比如”生日提醒“。
所有类型的提醒均可在提醒当天设置一个或多个提醒时间。这样一方面可以满足一件事情需要多次提醒的需求,比如:”每天早中晚三次提醒吃药“,只需创建一个每日提醒,其中设置三个提醒时间。另一方面,对于重要的事情可以设置多个提醒时间,以免遗漏(也就是”重要的事情说三遍“)。
3. 时钟功能
点击扩展图标,弹出页面会显示当前时间和日期,支持数字数字和模拟时钟。
另外,扩展图标本身也可以显示时间(但默认未开启该功能)。
在扩展选项-时钟里,可以设置:
• 显示模拟时钟还是数字时钟
• 是否显示秒
• 是否显示日期
• 扩展图标上是否显示时间
4. 其它
在浏览器扩展快捷键设置中(chrome://extensions/shortcuts)可以为”查看时间“和”语音报时“设置快捷键。
关于提醒方式
扩展支持两种提醒方式,可选择其一或全选:
• 语音播报:通过语音引擎播报当前时间或设置的提醒内容。
• 系统通知:桌面系统通知。
语音报时因为会发出声音,所以可能不适合所有人,另外如果忘记打开扬声器或音量太小也会听不到。
系统通知如果自动消失也可能错过。所以:
• 因为整点报时不是非常重要的事情,错过也没关系,所以报时提醒的系统通知几秒后会自动消失。
• 自定义提醒可能是比较重要的事情,所以为了防止遗漏,默认是一分钟后消失。另外可以分别设置每个自定义提醒的系统通知显示时间,几分钟后自动关闭或需要手工关闭(即不会自动消失)。
综上,语音播报和系统通知可以互为补充避免遗漏。
关于语音引擎
语音引擎,即文本转语音(Text-to-Speech,简称 TTS),包括操作系统自带的 TTS 以及浏览器提供的远程 TTS 。前者可以在操作系统设置中自行调整,后者依赖网络连接。操作系统自带语音效果一般,但离线可用;浏览器提供的语音效果通常更好,但需要网络连接。
语音报时和自定义提醒功能使用 TTS 播报时间和自定义内容,在扩展选项-语音设置中可以设置语音引擎。每种语音通常只支持一种语言的文字,可能无法正确地朗读其它语言的文字。
如何打开扩展选项?以下两种方法均可。
• 右键点击扩展图标,再点击选项。
• 点击扩展图标,鼠标移动到弹出窗口中,再点击右上角的设置图标。
不要当作闹钟使用
此扩展适合为日常工作生活提供周期性的报时和提醒,但不要将它作为闹钟,例如你要赶飞机或早起的话请不要依赖此扩展。因为在退出浏览器或电脑休眠时扩展无法发出提醒,因此不适合非常重要的事情。
注意:由于浏览器的限制,报时和提醒可能会延迟一点时间(小于1分钟)。

- (2024-06-24) David: When it works, it is fine, but it stops working. For years the talking clock only works when it feels like it, so it is completely unreliable (Don't trust custom reminders) I would donate to Mr Han's otherwise good work, if he could find a way to keep it working an make it reliable. From time to time, I try again to make it work. My latest attempt has it sending silent notifications but not talking.
- (2023-08-21) Farhan Hussain: 1- custom reminder not performing actions - not showing notifications and no announcements. 2- time reminder not performing action either - no voice announcements and notifications. 3- time is stuck on the icon. not syncing with system.
- (2023-08-05) laura mena: EXCELENTE....!!!!
- (2023-06-18) Pyon Gmail: Great plugin! btw i have this use case, Can you just let the custom reminder to remind the time? instead of custom content. Or under time reminder/announce interval/every 1 hour let me choose the time. Example I only want it to remind during night.
- (2023-06-12) Black On Track (B): Is there a way to make the notification interval beep every minute? I really like it, but it would be more useful if there were every 1 minute or custom options..! (By the way, thank you so much for making such a great extension..!!)
- (2023-04-18) 玄煊李: why there's no option to put am or pm anymore while setting the reminder? I missed my lunch because 1pm is not ringing because the system is receiving it as 1am lmfao. I already set it as 12hour system but how come I am unable to set the reminder in 12 hour setting? please fix this asap. :)
- (2023-04-16) alaska Canyon: what nice
- (2023-03-30) RJ: It would have been nice, if there was an option to repeat reminder, Every __ min! i hope developer gives this feature in the next update! 🤞
- (2023-03-20) Kyotofatcat: Great extension, it is fantastic. It would be more intuitive if the custom multiple remainders could be sorted by date and time in ascending or descending order.
- (2022-12-26) Shu Jie: Useful for those not having fixed working schedule. Would love to have it as my phone app if possible :D
- (2022-12-20) 1953HLH: It doesn't work when browser is closed.
- (2022-10-31) F FEPA: ✅Funciona como reminder con sonido y texto. ✅Puedes crear reminder especificos que se repitan cada cierto tiempo, en un dia de la semana especifico (custom reminders) u otros que aparezcan cada cierto tiempo segun marcas de tiempo predeterminadas (time reminders). ✅Puedes elegir formato 12h/24h. ✅Es muy ligera en espacio y recursos(ocupa menos de 1MB). ✅Bastante comoda de usar, las opciones se abren en una tab para realizar todos los cambios desde un mismo lugar. ✅Al pulsar el icono de la app muestra un reloj con los reminders mas proximos. ✅Si no tienes la voz de Microsoft instalada (75-85MB) puedes usar ESpeak de Sourceforge(3MB) y podras usarla en el anuncio del Custom reminder que has creado. ✅Si quieres crear una entrada custom reminder, y elegir la frecuencia de aviso una vez cada mes y en su dia final, podras activar una opcion del "ultimo dia" para forzar que te recuerde solo el ultimo dia del mes (sin conocer especificamente si ese mes termina en 30 o 31). ❌NEGATIVO : No poder usar sonidos precargados (interno en la extension) para las alarmas en los reminders (como un sonido de campana) o un archivo de audio que puedas cargar localmente desde tu PC.
- (2022-09-29) Γιάννης Γιαννόπουλος: I would like to have a "Sleep mode" option where for some hours there will be no voice announcement of the time. Other than that, i think it's a very usefull plugin..
- (2022-09-16) P F: Its the best option on the store but its unreliable. Ive noticed that it will randomly not work. I set it for every 30 minutes and sometimes it works and sometimes it doesnt. It just didnt which is what prompted me to write this review. A few times now Ill just be looking at the windows clock waiting for it to go from XX:29 to XX: 30 for example. And theres no pop up nor sound. Sometimes it WILL work but i need it to work 100% of the time.
- (2022-09-13) ellin !: it works perfectly fine as others said but it won't work when there's a background music.
- (2022-08-22) Mekisha Telfer: This is one of my all-time favorite Chrome extensions. As someone with ADHD who suffers from time blindness, this talking clock keeps me from losing huge chunks of my day to a single task. Time feels a liiiiitle less like me enemy when it's running. MY ONLY REQUEST: timer options for the mute function (mute for 30 minutes; mute for 1 hour; etc) where the talking clock automatically unmutes after a certain amount of time. I take a lot of video calls for work using a program outside of Chrome, and I have to mute the extension. But because of my aforementioned ADHD, I often forget to turn it back on and lose days of glorious time keeping from the Talking Clock.
- (2022-07-26) Xavier Ekka MIND: Wow... This speaks so beautifully...
- (2022-07-03) Alfréd Szöllősi: magyarul beszél, és ébreszt illetve jelez, bemondással, nagyszerü progi
- (2022-06-25) Fortes Fortuna Adiuvat: One of the best extension I have ever used.
- (2022-05-27) Seven Sugiandi: This app is fantastic. I was a long time Firefox user, and I looked for things like this to no avail. I have ADHD, and with it comes time blindness (for me, anyway). I hyperfocus and lose track of time - to the point where hours pass and I don't realise. This is perfect, thank you!
- (2022-05-20) H.立委(H.立委): 隔天 鬧鐘與記事內容 全部消失 須重新輸入
- (2022-04-12) Zac Lim: I Love this so much....easy and simple....love it....
- (2022-03-27) 王.: 好用是好用,但是有一个问题,当显示4位数的时候,最后一位数会被遮住一半,怎么设置才能完全显示出来呢 例如显示"10:07"时,数字"7"就显示不全.
- (2022-03-10) Waleed: Bro perfect extension. Please add option for every minute. 5 mins is too much! Add every minute option please!
- (2021-11-29) Ruby Gem Cabagua: I love the concept but the seconds doesn't match to the current time in second. Its almost 30 seconds late. Please fix it!
- (2021-11-28) Pat MySecret: I like it.. It's not as fussy as my Google mini reminders. I've just noticed that the "every week" option let's you choose weekdays.
- (2021-11-04) Chen Kerry: Thanks for sharing this! It's intuitive to use.
- (2021-10-08) elaiza Yin: 提醒我下午6点要打卡的,哈哈
- (2021-10-05) 创世大发风控审核: 突然不能提醒了 删除重新也没用 有办法解决吗
- (2021-09-13) Glory: 非常喜欢, 可不可以加个过几分钟再提示的功能
- (2021-09-08) 非常好,满足我的各项使用需求。
- (2021-09-04) Praveen kumar G T: It does not work all the time, should the chrome be an active tab for the extension to work. or it does not come when we watch other videos in chrome
- (2021-08-15) sojy john: Have been looking for such a tool for so long, not sure why couldn't I find it before in webstore.. Thanks for such a wonderful tool..it meets all the requirements for a clock I was looking for. If an option to sync configuration was added that would have been great. But that's not a pressing one!
- (2021-08-12) meng meng: 超棒
- (2021-08-09) David: Excellennt. The only reason I didn't give it 5 stars at first was because it was sometimes about 45 seconds late. but in reply to Jackies response, (Thank you Jackie) I think the timing was hindered by another extension that gives a series of "pips" on the hour. At other times the talking clock is more accurate. In any case, this is a great app. TIP; If you have an appointment coming up in about a half hour, switch to notifications every 5 minutes. It helps you to focus and motivates you to concentrate on being ready. That is especially effective if you have to leave the building. You could even set a custom message saying "You have X minutes to get out of here"
- (2021-06-30) Rahul Phunin: amazingly preety handy tool, using it to remind myself to take a break from computing :)
- (2021-05-25) Ayesha Haniya: I loved the extension! But i have a suggestion, Would you add a feature which allows you to record your own voice, and it can play at the time we set them to play or randomly play?
- (2021-05-04) Atrocious Vengeance: This has got to be the best Talking Clock type of extension out there. It has all the necessary options and fulfills all the needs. Anyone who is rating this lower than 5* either doesn't know how to operate this extension or downloaded the wrong extension and was expecting something else. There is one request to the developers, can you enable this extension outside of Chrome please? Or perhaps you could release a .exe which I think this will be well worth it? Thank you
- (2021-03-13) Prabil m: Great .I use it for trading market .alerting me every 15 min close of a candle. I d love if there is an option to avoid alert on saturday and sunday.
- (2021-02-26) Valeria Diez: Buen diseño, buena funcionalidad, funciona perfecto! Contenta. Ideal para recordar hacer pausas en el trabajo para estirarse y descansar la vista
- (2021-02-25) Marjorie Abrancillo: LOVE IT SO MUCHHHHH!
- (2020-12-26) Oofzilla MeeM: Nice
- (2020-12-09) TechAble AT: Simple yet great program!
- (2020-11-30) Bob Loucks: Doesn't GET any better than This, LOL Don't understand the problems others are having. This extension reads aloud the time to you at ANY intervals you want. you can set it for just desktop alerts, audio or... BOTH. Also lets you make custom alerts with daily, weekly, weekdays, monthly,etc.,CUSTOM REMINDERS. Functionality never fails. I've used this for many months now and even switching browser from time to time I always include this baby.
- (2020-11-22) yang zhang: 卧槽,神器!!!IT狗经常忘时间,一直在找时间提醒软件。这才是最好的番茄钟。
- (2020-11-18) ВАСЯ пупкин: Класс! То, что я искал. Спасибо!
- (2020-11-13) Cool JK: Highly recommended custom reminder tool
- (2020-10-29) Indispensable. You can have spoken alerts or spoken alerts with desktop notifications or just desktop notifications. Works flawlessly. it's free and about the only one of its kind. Ignore the haters & try it for yourself. HIGHLY Customizable.
- (2020-10-08) Agitated _: Wont save settings... getting really annoyed at the popup., used to work fine... chromes up to date aswell... need to fix it asap
- (2020-10-05) Jessica Harry: CUSTEM A real small popup With no good look to it And no clock and no time Repeat Delay like 3m if in not in the room it goes off be nice if the pop-up Display was big With a OK to close it
