You are doing it right. The logic is, I think, that you already set the first hour. So when you long press on the last hour, it only reports the hours you have added, so since 8AM was already set, it tells you that you have now set 9 through 10. HTH,

I just bought talking time and I have some questions. I've tried setting it up from 8 am to 10 pm to speak every 15 minutes. The odd thing is that when I Do the double tap and long press on the end time it sometimes says the time is set an hour after I actually set it. When I go back and tried to change the time to the hour I actually want it says clear. For example, I set the clock using the double tap for 8 am, flicked right until I came to 10 pm, did a double tap and hold and the clock said 9 am to 10 pm. So I went back to 8 am to re-set it and did a double tap and it said 8 am clear. Am I doing something wrong? Thanks. I hope this makes sense. God bless! Paula and the pups -----Original Message----- From: [email protected] <[email protected]> On Behalf Of Richard Turner Sent: Friday, October 29, 2021 9:36 PM To: [email protected] Subject: RE: Looking for an hourly chime app I've been working with the developer of Talking Time, $1.99, and I can say with certainty that having it speak the time in one of several VoiceOver voices works great, I cannot get the ding pattern to work, however. He just released the latest update to the App Store. IF having it speak is OK, you can set it to the hour, quarter hour, half, and 3 quarters. The developer has been amazingly responsive. Here is the info I put on my web page. Talking Time, $1.99 by Fortuisoft * Talking Time speaks the time on the hour, half-hour and/or quarter-hour. * "Set and forget". The app only runs during setup so you can do other stuff with your phone, and it won't run down your battery. The developer is very responsive and working to make the app as accessible as possible. I reached out to him about the app before purchasing it and he put me in touch with Pam Coffey, who is another VoiceOver user who had sorted out how to setup the app. She shared the below with me and gave me permission to pass it along. How to set up the Talking Time app, written by Pam Coffey. When you open the app, the entire screen is taken up by the in-app settings. The first button is labeled "Unpronounceable". That takes you to what is supposed to be the tutorial, which you might as well ignore. The next item simply says " Set desired schedule then exit the app." Next is Background Sound, which needs to be turned on, if you want it to run in background. Now, here's the tricky part: Schedule. When you double-tap Schedule, there are four columns of time indications: on-hour , beginning with midnight at the top of the screen, and ending with 11 PM at the base of the column; quarter past, beginning with 12:15 AM, and ending with 11:15 PM at the base of the column; half-past, beginning and ending with 12:30 AM and 11:30 PM; and three-quarters past, arranged in the same way. If you wish, for example, to have it alert you every 15 minutes throughout the day, beginning at 6:30 AM and ending at 10:30 PM, you will double-tap 6:30 AM and long press (also known as double-tap and hold) on 10:30 PM. Next, double-tap on 6:45 AM, and long press 9:45 PM. Then, double-tap 7 AM, and Lon press 10 PM. Finally, double-tap 7:15 AM, and long press 10:15 PM. If you _only want it to alert you at a few times of the day, simply double-tap the times you wish to be alerted (e.g., 6:30 AM, 8 AM, 2:45 PM, 6 PM and 10 PM). I assume that, if you have selected a time and then wish to deselect it, double-tapping it again will toggle it off. If you wish to deselect _all of the selected times within a column, find the one nearest the top of that column, and long press it. Now that you've done all of that, hit the Back button. The next heading is Voice, under which the first option is "Ding only", which can be turned on or off. The next item is actually "Voice". Here, you can choose from among a number of speaking voices; and, you can also choose speaking rate (which is a bit quirky), whether or not you want it to begin with "The time is ...",., and whether or not you want it to include AM and PM. Once you've set these options, double-tap "Save"; then, the next item is Volume. The volume setting for this app is related to that of the ringer and alerts; therefore, if you wish to make a major change in the volume, you may need to go to your general settings, choose "Sounds and Haptics", and enable "Change with Ringer and Alerts"-at least until you have it set to your preference. By the way, you are limited to 64 alerts throughout the day. The remaining items are "It's Not Working", "Feedback", "Share", and "About". The developer, Mark Sydow, added a feature where it speaks whether a time is set or cleared when setting up the schedule. Plus, now in iOS 15.1, you can turn off all the notification settings other than Allow Notifications, and Sounds. This way it doesn't clutter up your notification center.

I've looked at several apps in the App Store but they are more cumbersome than I need. I'm looking for an app that will play a sound on the hour every day but not in the middle of the night. The chime I used had the ability for me to choose the hours I did not want it to chime. As always, thank you! Kim -- The following information is important for all members of the V iPhone list.
