“I want to get voice time announcements every few hours so I do not lose track of time while working.”
“Is there an app that announces the time with a voice every day, like saying ‘It’s 12 noon’?”
In times like these, you can create your own speaking time announcements with the Android app Reminder FLEX that has a built in text to speech feature.
Reminder FLEX reads out your custom text at the time you set, such as:
“It is now 12 o’clock noon.”
“It is 9 PM. Time to take a shower.”
It is not just a simple time announcement.
You can also read out both the time and the task together, making it perfect for daily routines and time boxing.
Features of Reminder FLEX that let you create speaking time signals
Automatically plays your speaking time signal at the same time every day
By entering any phrase you like in the reminder title, such as:
“It is 5 PM.”
“It’s 11:45 AM.”
the app will read out that text at the time you set.
Reads both the time and the task, perfect for building routines
It does more than just tell you the time.
- “It is 8:23 AM. Turn off the light and leave.”
- “It is 5 PM. It is time to pick up your child.”
- “It is 10 PM. Measure your blood pressure and get ready for bed.”
This helps you:
- Build daily routines more easily
- Get gentle voice prompts for habits you do not want to forget
- Know what to do next just by listening, without looking at the screen
Choose between voice, notification, or alarm
If you prefer voice announcements but want simple notifications in quiet places, you can choose:
- Voice read aloud
- Notification
- Alarm
You can set a different alert method for each time signal. For example, voice at 8 AM and notification only at 12 PM.
Flexible repeat options, such as weekdays only
You can set each time signal to repeat:
- On weekdays only
- Every day
- On specific days of the week
For example:
- “Play an 8:30 AM time signal on weekdays only for work preparation.”
- “Play a 3 PM reminder for hobby time on Sundays only.”
Reads the time with no delays
Android has a battery saving system called DOZE mode, which causes many apps to delay notifications or fail to alert at all.
Reminder FLEX avoids DOZE mode and reads your time announcements at the exact moment every day, with no 1 minute delay.
This gives peace of mind for anyone who needs precise timing.
Can read aloud even in silent mode
If you usually keep your phone in silent mode but do not want to miss the time announcements, you can turn on the option to read aloud in silent mode, and the app will still speak the time.

- “It is 10 AM. Start your focus session.”
