Re: Tweeking the time script?
To use it, open Apple Script Editor, paste the script, and then compile it (the option is in the menus, but I want to say it's cmd-k). You should be prompted for a place to save your script; pick a spot, as long as you know where it is, but your scripts folder (~/library/scripts, I think) is the easiest since vo will default there. Now open the vo utility and select commanders. Choose the keyboard commander tab, then the speak date and time item, and pick the script you saved instead of the one that is set by default. It has been a long while since I did any of this, as you can tell, so some of my steps may be off. Still, you should be able to get it, and if you have problems, let the list know and someone on here can help, or I can do the process myself so i can give more exact instructions. As for seconds, yes, that's possible. The current date variable has everything about the date and time, so maybe something like: set currentTime to (currentDate's hours) : (currentDate's minutes) (currentDate's date string) On May 8, 2013, at 5:28 PM, Traci our4p...@gmail.com wrote: 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?

Re: Tweeking the time script?
Hi, does this script say time in 24 hour format or 12 hour? I would like to have the time in 24 hour. Thanks for any advice. Max.

Re: Tweeking the time script?
Currently it uses 12-hour format, but I'm sure you could get 24-hour if you wanted. I'd like the change as well, but don't use the script very often so never looked into it. The key is the original time script, which manages this. As I think about it, I seem to think the current date's hours is in 24-hour format, so the tweak I gave in my last post would be 24-hour. If you wanted 12-hour there, you'd have to use the subtract 12 if over 12 if statements the original script (the one that vo uses by default) uses.

Re: time script
I have the opposite from you. I've noticed a quicker response in 10.7.1 than 10.7. Having read the thread concerning the time script, it gave me motivation to go and do what I've always wanted to do. I've always wanted to hear the time before the date. So I tweaked the script to speak the time first. Maybe it's just my mind playing tricks, but I think the script responds even more quickly now. Eventually, I might decide to separate the scripts so 1 command reads the time and 1 reads the date. On 8/24/11, Ricardo Walker rwalker...@gmail.com wrote: I've noticed this too.

Re: time script
I have also noticed a lag in Lion as well. When I was using Snow Leopard, VoiceOver responds instantly when I press the keyboard commander for the time script. Now in Lion, I've experienced at least a 1.5 second lag. And yes, I have checked allow VoiceOver to be controlled by Apple Script.

Re: time script
It's gonna nturally take that long, as my guess is, before it can speak it, it takes a moment to first query the screen and get the time needed to be spoken. It's a two step at least, process.

Re: time script
One thing you want to ensure is that you have the allow VoiceOver to be controlled with applescript checkbox to be checked. This is in the general section of VoiceOver utility. If this box is checked, the script will use VoiceOver to speak the time. If it isn't, the script will use the say command to do it. There still may be a bit of a pause if you haven't used the script in a while, but it does seem to be a bit faster if that box is checked.
