talking clock can also read settings from the following files?
/etc/talking-clockrc global settings
~/.talking-clockrc
XDG_CONFIG_HOME/talking-clock/talking-clockrc
(Usually XDG_CONFIG_HOME is ~/.config)
Settings for individual users. If both files exist the user specific settings will be used. Command line arguments are considered all powerful and will override all others.
Configuration files should be written as command=setting. Here is an example of a configuration file:
bell-/home/USER/hourbell.ogg
format=24
quarter=/home/USER/clocksounds/quarterhour.ogg
sound=play -q
prepend=/home/USER/big-ben.ogg
soundpack=/home/USER/thunderstorm

Be careful when using custom voice commands, if it is not valid the program will not work. You do not have to specify parameters for voice commands if you want to use the defaults. You can use voice=espeak (this is the default), voice=cepstral, voice=speech-dispatcher, voice=pico, or voice=festival.
Creating soundpacks is very simple. Make a directory named anything you wish, thunderstorm for example, and place files inside it. The naming scheme for soundpack files follows the hours 1 through 12 and quarter hours 15, 30, 45. Each sound file must be in .ogg format. So, your directory will contain 1.ogg, 2.ogg, ... 12.ogg, 15.ogg, 30.ogg, and 45.ogg. To download or submit soundpacks go to:

If hourly chimes should be prepended with a sound, then name the sound prepend.ogg, will play at each hour, before the chimes.To download or submit soundpacks go to:
