Want your computer speak the current time?

$ saytime

This command says the current system in a male voice. If you are ambitious,
you can write a shell script to set up an alarm which will say the time.

 saytime: speaks the current time through your sound card Say the current
time through your sound card. Requires you have a sound output device
available.
