This is a program that can say numbers and just a few words through the PC speaker (no other equipment needed). It's quite eerie to hear an apparently mute PC "talk" for the first time. The program can tell time in AM/PM format. Military format would require you to format a message of the form "(The time is now) hh mm ss" .
