Talking Clock

[ryz4eva]

whilst away at university, i lose track of time very easily.

id like to set up a clock, which speaks every hour, on the hour ("it is 1 oclock", "it is 2 oclock") but not between 9pm and 6am. does anybody know how i could do this?

[ryz4eva]

i did think of sending vox a message through autoremote every hour, but id prefer something that didnt require a phone, or other device

If you want to use another program or device that's fine but you could do this using only VoxCommando.

How would I do it in vox?

Did you consider trying to figure it out on your own?

You have many tools at your disposal:

VC.SetEventTimer, GoogleCalendar plugin, logic blocks, python etc.

Set event timer is probably a good place to start.

The wiki lists all the date/time variables available: http://voxcommando.com/mediawiki/index.php?title=Variables

In this case, you'll have the most flexibility for handling the logic of your clock/timer if you use the DtCustom variables.

For example, {DtCustom.HH} returns the current hour (ignoring minutes) using a 24-hour clock.
