SpeakTimer - Voice Alert Timer

High price, requires a free, but auto renewing to no free, trial to test, so DO NOT DOWNLOAD, if you forget to cancel sometimes. Turns down the volume of other apps the whole time it’s running (not just when it’s announcing) Didn’t find the controls intuitive, not even sure if you can change the voice. (Not going to keep looking, just deleting this app) There are others, try them. Don’t like it, but it does work, so 2 stars.

Some things are such no brainers that they stunning to use. Five stars for shear intelligence. I only used it one time but I hope to find a choice of voices. Good job, developer! I have to limit my talk time on the phone because my voice seemed to get rough. Now the listener can hear a ten minute warning to wrap up their points and I do not have to intervene for myself. I have my own WINGMAN looking after me. At 75 years, I love having a man’s voice speak to wrap things up. I am just giddy over this. 🌸

I use this app to start model sailboat races. It is connected to a speaker via Bluetooth so everyone on the dock can hear the countdown. Great that you can set up voice alerts at any second you choose. One addition that would be nice is to allow sounds to be configured as well as speech. We would like to use an air horn sound when it is time to start the race.
