And then use control option left and right arrow to find the time. To find the current title of the window, press control option F2. If however you are on a MacBook, it may be necessary to press FN, Control, option, F2, to hear the title of the window. Press this key combination twice quickly to obtain a list of all of the open windows in that specific application. To read the title of the application, press control option F1. Please no, it is necessary to include the FN, key, if you had to for the previous step. To obtain a list of all of the running applications, you can press this key combination twice quickly.
