Abstract
In a preferred aspect of the present invention, there is provided a speech synthesizer timepiece with an alarm function or a remaining interval counting function. The timepiece is adapted to set advance announcements at different intervals depending upon the length of a remaining time with respect to an intended time, the intervals being increasingly shorter as the intended time is approached. The remaining time is audibly announced each time the advance announcements are to be delivered.
