But as far as i can recall this didn't start to happen in conjunktion
with a system update and my Imac came with the then latest sysupdate
on board as far as i can remember. Also, as i say, i have the 24 hour
clock checked and the menu bar shows clock in 24 hour but Bells speaks
time in 12 hour format. This is odd, to say the least.
Further suggestions are welcome, but i don't think i dare fooling
around with .plist files if i don't absolutely have to.

Hi Jacob,
I had my time set to announce time on the quarter hour with Alex
using a 12 hour clock, but changed things to check "Use a 24-hour
clock" after Krister's post. Since I wanted to test this right
away, I changed my time zone. Now, it's true that when I check time
by navigating to the status menu bar Alex will still use the 12 hour
clock -- and I haven't restarted my computer in between. But the
quarter hour announcements all come up in the 24-hour clock for me
now that I've changed that setting. This is on an Early 2008
MacBook -- whatever the last model was before the new designs
without Firewire ports -- and I think that's the same model you
have. All I did was arrow down from the clock menu to Open Date &
Time and check the checkbox to use a 24-hour clock.
I wonder whether there was some option setting in 10.5.3 that did
this. I went from Tiger to Leopard with the transition to the
MacBook, so I set these preferences up from scratch on the MacBook.
This came with 10.5.2 loaded, and the update was to 10.5.4 when I
used Software Update. So I've never use 10.5.3 at all.
Cheers,
Esther

This started happening to me with the OS X 10.5.3 update. The issue
is that Alex takes any 24-hour time and converts into twelve hour
before speaking it. If anyone has found a way to override this I'd
really like to know, as for me this was not a change for the better.

Hi.
Ok, this may seem like a minor consern and likely is, but i have
my clock set to announce the time every half hour. On the Mac Mini
i borrowed and also on my Imac, it was perfectly possible to have
the clock announse the time in 24 hour format, however for some
unknown to me reason, all of a sudden, the clock has started
announsing the time in 12 hour format, which i don't want. It
started with this when i switched from digital to analog clock
display, or rather a few days after that, so i figured that if i
switched the clock back to digital and checked the "show time in
24 hours" box, the speech would revert to announsing time in 24
hour format, but no, it hasn't.
How do i change this? It must be possible, since i had the Imac
speech announse time in 24 hour format before.
Thanks for any help.
