Hello! First, depending if you want the time spoken with Apple's Speech Manager, you don't need to check the "Allow VoiceOver to be controlled with AppleScript" checkbox under the "General" category. Non-AppleScripted commands will still work as expected without this checked, and even some AppleScripts such as Speak Time and Date. Part of the disadvantage to using the Keyboard COmmander with scripts is that it takes them a while to load, as they apparently are not kept in memory, which you will notice if you try doing it twice rapidly as opposed to doing it once in a while.
It seems to currently be faster to hit Control-F8, then hit the left arrow once to get to the time.
