Réglage de la musique et des sons

You can add sounds for alarms, timers, tasks, or birthdays.

Hot Alarm Clock can play audio files or online radio. It can even read a text aloud for you!

You can check the defined sound in two ways:

• To play the sound once at the specified volume, click the button with the green triangle inside.
• To start the alarm with all defined settings (including Fade In, Repeat, etc.), click the Test button.

Play sound

You can enable or disable sound. If you don't want to play any sound, you can turn it off and only use the Reminders window.

Sound

Sound file or playlist

Specify the audio files to play. You can do it in several ways: use the drop-down list (which includes files from the Sounds subfolder), select a file on your computer by clicking the Browse... button, or click the rightmost button and create a playlist (the files from the playlist will be played in random order).
The following file formats are supported: mp3, mp2, ogg, wav, wma, aif, aiff, aifc, afc, m3u, flac.

Online radio station

Enter the URL of an online radio station. The drop-down list already contains several popular online radio stations. To look for other lists of radio stations, click the Browse... button.
It is recommended to select the following URL formats: PLS or M3U.

Text to speech

The text that you enter will be read aloud (See: Speech synthesis in Wikipedia). The <time> tag will be replaced by the current time.
For the English language, the speech synthesizer built into Windows is used, and you can select a text-to-speech voice in the Windows settings. For other languages, an Internet connection is needed, the maximum text length is 100 characters, and you cannot choose a text-to-speech voice.

In the Text to Speech mode, you can use the following tags:

<time>

current time on your computer;

<timehms>

current time in the format "hours, minutes, seconds";

<timeh>

current hour only (without minutes or seconds);

<date>

current date;

<day>

current day as full name (Sunday-Saturday);

<timeleft>

how much time is left before the event.
