talking qclock

type this in a terminal:

qclock | espeak

lol, you make have to install espeak, pacman -S espeak. It will say the output of qclock.

lol, wow what a horrible voice!
However, the funny thing is that the output of qclock is not printed, so you have to rely on the voice... I guess one could create a keyboard shortcut to trigger that command

I can only say, that it's the perfect combination.

Haha. This is funny

I set it as a crontab to say the time every hour

MONODA · 2008-05-13 05:34:05

you can also change the language

utore · 2008-05-13 05:47:59

If you were a real winner you'd set it to say the time every second.

It's a little difficult to understand, but fun nonetheless.

This one works pretty good

qclock | sed -e 's#\-##g' -e 's#\*##g' | espeak -s 166 -g 10 -v en -k 20

could be fixed:

 qclock | tee - | espeak

(this both prints and talks)
