A speaking clock or talking clock is a live or recorded human voice service, usually accessed by telephone, that gives the correct time. The first telephone speaking clock service was introduced in France, in association with the Paris Observatory, on 14 February 1933.〔((fr) Paris Observatory )〕 The format of the service is similar to that of radio time signal services. At set intervals (''e.g''. ten seconds) a voice announces (for example) "At the third stroke, the time will be twelve forty-six and ten seconds...", with three beeps following. Some countries have sponsored time announcements and include the sponsor's name in the message. == ASEAN == In 1995, the ASEAN has set up nine speaking clocks. *Brunei *Cambodia *Indonesia *Laos *Malaysia 1051 (within Kuala Lumpur), 03-1051 (from other states), +60-3-1051 (from other countries), 1052 (English) *Philippines *Singapore 171 (English) (1711 if called from other ASEAN countries, +65-171 from other countries), 172 (Chinese), 173 (Tamil) *Thailand 181 (1811 if called from other ASEAN countries, +66-181 from other countries), 182 for English *Vietnam The voice is computer-generated in ten languages: Chinese (Singapore), English (every country), Indonesian (Indonesia), Khmer (Cambodia), Lao (Laos), Malay (Malaysia, Brunei), Tagalog (Philippines), Tamil (Singapore), Thai (Thailand) and Vietnamese (Vietnam). This service replaced services in Malaysia (owned by F3), Philippines, Singapore and Thailand (owned by the navy), which already had speaking clock services. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「speaking clock」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
