Alex, thank you for this however, now this is how voiceover reads out the time.
2hours: 22minutes: 32seconds PM, Wednesday, May 8, 2013 Could it be because I'm using Samantha compact as my default voice? Lol, kooky there, I just answered my own question. I switched to Alex and he spoke it correctly. Would it be an easy tweak to omit the seconds from the time?
