Abstract
A timer-announcer system stores instructions for generating various types of time information, e.g., sharp time (announced at a pre-set time); and updated real time (announcing the present time upon demand by a key actuation). The sounds may be simultaneously required, in which case logic circuits assign relative priorities for delivery of the instructions to the sound synthesizer.
