In the United States, Mary Moore was the first voice of the Bell System's standardized talking clock manufactured by Audichron in the early 1950's, and was known for using a distinctive pronunciation of 9 (Ny-un) and 5 (Fy-uv).

Prior to Ms Moore and Audichron, an operator (one of whom was Moore) sat in a room and read the time every 10 seconds. The distintive pronunciation was required because, on a poor quality line, "nine" and "five" can sound very similar.

Mary Moore was succeeded by Jane Barbe.
