Hi Butch,
I found an NVDA add-on which is quite impressive and has the identical announcement functionality which the app I had written for you has when using window eyes, That is, it can chime or even announce the time every 10 minutes. If you are interested , here is the link: https://addons.nvda-project.org/addons/clock.en.html Let me know what you think. Good luck, Rod Sent from my iPod On Mar 12, 2022, at 6:55 PM, Butch Bussen via Talk <talk@lists.window-eyes.com> wrote: 73 Butch WA0VJR Node 3148 Wallace, ks.

Also, I assume you were running Windows 10? If so, I could probably look for a free or relatively inexpensive timer app which would do the trick. If you don’t care about the interface, I could probably write a batch file with a command line audio player playing the files I mentioned. It’s really up to your personal preference. All the best, Rod Sent from my iPod On Mar 12, 2022, at 9:26 AM, Butch Bussen via Talk <talk@lists.window-eyes.com> wrote: I suppose tht would work, but wouldn't I have to keep that window open? Also, the timer is nice as it goes off on the ten minute mark. I didn't know what was involved. 73 Butch WA0VJR Node 3148 Wallace, ks.

Actually, I think the solution is simpler than the need to write an app. If you use Winamp, for example, you could create A simple playlist comprised of two files, one being silent and the length of the timer you need, and the second a little file which sounds the alarm,. Then, it is simply a matter of turning the repeat function of your media player on. So, on your media player, you press play. If you don’t hear anything, then probably the silent file is playing, and , If you like, you press next track, in which case you would probably hear the alarm sound. Then, the playlist wraps around and starts playing the silent file again. So simple, a? If you save the little playlist as a Winamp playlist or M3U playlist, you can execute it whenever you like. The key to using the playlist is the file association, that is, Setting Winamp to execute playlist files. Let me know what you think.

I often run nvda these days. You had mentioned once about makeing a stand alone program. If possible, what would it involve. I'd pay you something for doing it.
