I know that at least one talking clock exists.  I wrote it.  :-)
It just speaks the time whenever it's executed and goes away again;
sorry, nothing fancy like sticking around and humming Westminster
chimes on the hour.  To be cute, though, it says the time the way
we do, e.g. "It's nearly ten to five."  It's called "qt2" and can
be found on Fish disk #186, including assembly source code.
