Stephen, Thank you. There's a feature with JAWS so dates can be spoken as I prefer and I would be extremely grateful if someone could write an app for WE.
I have a feeling I'll have to re-adjust myself to the way We speaks dates in Money Talks as well.

Therefore, Window-Eyes doesn't natively possess the ability to modify any dates as you describe. With that said, someone could quite easily write an app to watch for these types of strings and transform them to yield words instead of numbers. Hint for app developers: hook the OnSpeak event and filter the text that's going to be spoken against a regular expression designed to watch for dates.
