It can be done with Siri Shortcuts. There would be a few different ways to go about it but I would look to Siri Shortcuts and also any forums that may help you with that.

Speaking clock is very simple to build in Siri Shortcuts however getting it automated with 15 minute intervals is harder and then having it between a two hour window. I don't see 15 minute frequency in the automation tab.

You could set up 8 separate reminders (15 minute intervals) and recur each of these daily, then have a shortcuts automation to run when the reminder triggers.

Can still be done but it's a little messy.

If you don't want to go to the trouble of creating (free) Siri Shortcuts, here's a (paid) example of an app that will do it.

I haven't used it myself, but it says it will speak the time "in varying intervals from 1 minute to 1 hour"
