How to set up your Mac to announce the time

el capitan

If you are a few years old, you will surely remember and have had a watch from the Japanese firm Casio. Those rejones allowed us to configure it so that every time we arrived on time emit a sound warning, to inform us. That sound was one of the most desired when we were in class, since it indicated that it was about to end.

As we got older, the most likely thing is that we changed our tastes and got hold of a hand watch and later discarded it for guide us only by the time that the phone reflected us mobile phone, so the beeps that warned us of the time were definitely over. But not completely. Since within the different configuration options of OS we can reconfigure the clock that is shown in the upper menu bar to read aloud to us the time every time it is on the dot. But not only on the dot, but it can also notify us every half hour or every quarter of an hour, in this way if we are distracted doing anything and we have to go, our Mac will read us the time as we have configured it.

  • First of all we head up System preferences.
  • Within System Preferences, we go to Date and Time.
  • In Date and time, we go to Announce the time.
  • Click on the drop-down menu and select the option that most scares our needs:A o'clock, half past or quarter.
  • But also also we can customize the voice used to announce the time. By clicking on Personalize voice, we can select the system voice or a personalized one, modify the speed at which we are informed of the time, as well as adjust the volume of the notification.
