Talk Alert is a scheduling assistant for your Pocket PC that actually talks to
you. It’s for Pocket PC, PDAs that work with Windows CE, which is what it is written
in. It will organize and read upcoming appointments and tasks aloud. There are
11 voices for you to choose from. The tasks and appointments are then spoken
aloud, in a voice you choose, as you click on the corresponding icons. If
another application is active when an event occurs, a pop-up window appears as
the top window, your customized chime sounds, and your preferred voice speaks
the event. TimeTalk Alert includes a digital clock that announces the current
time in quarter, half, or full hour increments. Since TimeTalk Alert will
automatically speak both the time and your upcoming appointments, it enables
you to perform other activities while staying informed and on track. Imagine
knowing when your next meeting is without looking at your schedule! With
TimeTalk Alert you’ll never miss another appointment. For more information go to http://www.fonix.com
