Be Punctual
Does your
computer contain an alarm clock? Can you set your computer to remind
you about something? Does your computer tell you what time it is after
a certain amount of time has gone by?
If you answered
no to any of those questions, you should definitely take a look at
this tip!
Today, I am going
to explain to you how you can get an alarm clock, a reminder and a
human voice time teller all on your computer. All of this can be
obtained through just one software program. And the best part it's
free!
The software I am
referring to is called "Be Punctual." You can find it by going to:
http://www.vcsoftwares.com/BePun.html
Once you have it
downloaded and installed, you will see an aircraft icon in your bottom
system tray, as shown below.
Right click on
the icon to get the following window:
This is the Time
Teller window where you can set up two different settings.
1.) Tell Time
After – Here you can set the number of minutes after which you would
like your computer to tell you the time. If you don’t want it, you may
uncheck the box before Enabled.
2.) Options –
Here you can set your preference to hear a male or female voice by
selecting the respective radio button. Also, you may check or uncheck
the box for "Tell time at Windows startup." That one is up to you.
At the top, there
are reminder and alarm clock options. So, let's say you selected the
reminder window. You will then see the following:
Here you can
enter the message you want to be reminded with on a particular date,
month or time.
The exiting thing
is that you may select your own audio file to be played by clicking on
the Browse button. Once you do that, click Add and your reminder will
be added instantly.
There are also
options to modify or delete the existing reminders, if you ever want
to do that. Now, let's move on to the last tab, which is for the alarm
clock. You will see the following screen:
Here you can set
different alarms for each day of the week and even a standard alarm
for every day living. Of course, you may select your own audio file to
be played as your alarm as well.
Once you're done
choosing your settings, click on Send to Tray or just minimize it to
hide it in your system tray. All of the items you selected and chose
will stay put.
