Once the voice(s) are downloaded, they can be used in any app that can use text-to-speech. For example, it can be used to read ebooks out loud in an ebook reader app that has text-to-speech enabled.

Talking Clock verbally tells the time and can be set to tell it at specific intervals (e.g. every 30 minutes). The clock can be spoken aloud in many languages but the user must have first downloaded a text-to-speech voice for that language. For example, it won’t read the text properly in French, unless a French text-to-speech voice has already been installed on the device. The clock has the capability of reading text and telling the time in English (US, UK), French, German, Italian, and Spanish but the interface is only available in English.
