Now You Can Stop Your Alarm Clock with Your Voice

Monday morning seems to arrive earlier than ever. When getting up in the morning takes too much effort, why not start your day on a cheerier note, with an alarm clock app that talks to you? Meet WakeVoice, the alarm that talks.

WakeVoice: The Talking Alarm Clock

Rather than listening to the drone of the typical alarm, WakeVoice takes a different approach. When it goes off in the morning, it uses voice recognition to hear you tell it to snooze or to turn off the alarm. Of course, you can just lean over and turn it off manually, but where’s the fun in that?

When you tell it to stop, the voice you’ve selected (and there are a few options, at least in the paid version), will play for you what you want to hear. It could be an inspirational message to add a little motivation to your day or it could be weather, so you don’t have to open another app to figure out what to wear for the day. Or, you could set the app to share with you the latest news of your choosing, your horoscope, or your agenda.

Customize your wake up experience. WakeVoice includes a selection of themes, sounds, and even home automation features. Yes, WakeVoice is compatible with Philips Hue bulbs, so you can wake up without a jolt. Now that’s smart.

Good Morning, Sunshine
After you’ve installed the app, it’s time to get busy. Set your first alarm. Choose from your standard ringtones or any special music you already possess. Choose if you want the alarm to repeat and on what days.

Then consider your extras. Will you choose the news you want via RSS feed? Or will you go with your horoscope or the weather? Waking up in the morning has never been so much fun.

Make sure your phone battery doesn’t die on you in the night. Instead, install PowerPRO, so you always know where your phone battery stands. Receive hints and tips to keep your battery running for longer than ever.
