Have Your Mac Announce the Time

You may notice sometimes in my videos that my Mac announces the time for me on the hour. Viewers are always asking me how to do this, so now is my chance to finally explain it to everyone at once. Just follow these simple steps:


 - Open System Preferences

 - Click Date & Time

 - Select the Clock tab


At the bottom of the list of options, you can see the choice whether to turn on "Announce the time." Check the box and the rest is up to you!
