Ace Talking Reminders - Version 1 Uses Text-to-Speech Technology to make small animated cartoon characters read the reminders you type, and at the time you want. If you can hear your computer, you will be reminded! You will never forget those important meetings or phone calls! They read whatever you type, and they will countdown the time remaining until the event. Talking Reminders also functions like a grandfather clock by announcing the time the way you type it.
