Re: Getting voiceover to tell the time and date

2011-08-18 Thread Tracy Duffy
Thank you Mike. This works well for me as I'm using the Apple blue tooth 
keyboard and don't use the keyboard commander. I like this answer very much. 
Much appreciated!

Blessed are the flexible, for they shall not get bent out of shape.

You can press right-option-t if you have turned the keyboard commander on. I 
think you also have to have to box under general settings checked that says 
allow voiceover to be controlled by apple scripts.

Re: Getting voiceover to tell the time and date

2011-08-16 Thread Earle
Hi Mike. I normally check time and date from the status bar as well. I got the 
impression from David's message that he wanted a one keystroke approach for 
doing this though. That is why I gave him the explanation about the voiceover 
keyboard commander.
