Editing Speaking clock (section)

=== Austria ===

In [[Austria]], the speaking clock ("Zeitansage", which literally means "time announcement") number is 0810 00 1503 since 2009. A recorded female voice says: "Es wird mit dem Summerton 15 Uhr, 53 Minuten und 10 Sekunden", meaning "At the buzzing tone, the time will be 15 hours, 53 minutes and 10 seconds", followed by a short pause and a 1&nbsp;kHz, 0.25 seconds long beep (even though the announcement "buzzing tone" suggests otherwise). The time is announced in 10 second intervals using the voice of radio host Angelika Lang.
	
Before 2009, the speaking clock was available at local call rates by dialing 1503. Until then, the voice was generated by an Assmann ZAG500 time announcement device. The announcements were voiced by former switchboard operator Renate Fuczik.<ref>{{Cite web |url=https://www.ots.at/presseaussendung/OTS_20090527_OTS0174/aus-1503-wird-0810-001503-die-neue-zeitansage-ist-da-bild |title=Aus 1503 wird 0810 001503: Die neue Zeitansage ist da! |date=2009-05-27 |access-date=2022-08-13 |website=Austrian Press Agency |language=de-AT |trans-title=1503 becomes 0810 001503: The new speaking clock is here!}}</ref>

Telephone time signals first became available in Vienna in 1929, with an automatic voice announcement being added in 1941.
