A screen reader, if you will... It's interesting you say that. I know linux command line doesn't do this, but that is because to get the time is a matter of typing a command which is very efficient. But if you look at orca or jaws, both graphical screenreaders, they both have a built in hotkey to voice time and date. They don't force the user to tab around to the different pannels to find the clock, that would just take far too long. Dan.
