Thanks all for testing. Please check out the new-and-improved version:
http://maemo.org/packages/package_instance/view/fremantle_extras-testing_free_armel/espeaktime/0.5/
@Mustali: correct, thank you. I've only recenly found out how to cancel promotion. The new "espeaktime" package does have proper Replaces: and Conflicts: entries pertaining to "espeaktime-daemon", but hildon-application-manager explicitly refuses to deal with such packages. apt-get works as expected.
@Ken: Thanks! Try espeaktime version 0.5 -- you can configure the time format to include am/pm (e.g. "%I:%M %p"). Keeping the display dark might be tricky, but do feel free to open a ticket on the garage project page.
@Adib: That's a feature :) There's a checkbox to disable it in version 0.5.
since this app has been superseded by the next version which is also in testing, is there a way to remove the confusion? perhaps, cancel the promotion of this package and add it as a dependency to the new version of espeaktime?
Wow - a six kilobyte app! I didn't think anything useful could be that small. It might be nice if it spoke AM/PM after the time (for locales that ise a 12 hour time system, rather than 24). Also, I think it would be nice if the display could be kept dark when you've double-clicked to run this app.
Thats great..
but I have one notice, when the sound of the device is off this works and says the time where it should not ..
Thanks
