Default [Beta] Talking Clock feature

Game Name: Zune Clock
Creator: Adrian Vinca, Edited by Lucifer AKA Umisguy AKA Sean.
Version: 1.5
Description: Clock which displays the date and time and has a feature I added to his work which if you press the play / pause button, it speaks the time. It allows adjusting the date and time displayed (it doesn't modify the internal hardware clock). The value gets saved and loaded the next time you start the application.
I just needed a good working, easily readable clock game code to start with (instead of building my own which could be done, but why bother when so many nice looking and very functional ones exist?) and I removed his Media player functionality and photo viewing features, and added the Speech feature after thinking about it for days. This should be pretty straightforward. This is the Updated Version of the Talking Clock, instead of the amazingly long time of about a minute to say the time, it does it in under 5 seconds reliably. Time is spoken much more reasonably, and much more accurately. Download link here: Clock.rar
For those of you who "NEED" a zip file, go Get winrar or something, otherwise be lazy and download the .ZIP file I was so gracious and kind enough to make: Clock.zip

I need to figure out if I can increase the speech's speed. In my opinion, it takes too long to say the time.

I've got a few ideas, I'm going to try to speed things up a bit, but you know what? At least it works... right?

Default Cool Idea

Very cool idea.

The speed of the voice saying the time is way way to slow. It should be extremely quick like someone was actually saying it.

as of current, yes. BUT once I get it to speak the time a bit faster, I'll put it into the full clock app, OR I'll just change the name of the application so that it won't overwrite the actual 1.5 clock program.

umisguy, probably loading them into an array would be a better choice for general programming.

No thanks, great job but that sounds too annoying.
Get rid of that feature and will this drain battery any further?
