OT: saytime program

[Chuck Hallenbeck]

Cheryl,

I use a program which came once as part of the flite package, called
flite_time. It actually sounds pretty good in spite of its family of
origin. The voice is drawn from a library of fixed utterances for
better quality. Let me know if you would like a copy. I drive mine from
a crontab to tell me the time every 15 minutes.
