Hi there,
What this macro does actually would be better served with an external
application.
It is basically a chess clock. I am involved in two chess email lists that play
tournaments over skype. A chess clock is required to time games, but Braille
clocks are very rare and ungodly expensive w
I don't know what a chess clock is compared to a normal clock, but why not
simply check the time? If all you are after is a simple clock, would a talking
one not work just as well, whether built into the Mac or otherwise? What about
a simple stopwatch app (the one on iOS is great if you have an
I'm not a chess player but I thought a chess clock has two countdown
timers and two buttons. Each player gets the same amount of time to make
their moves. So once you move your piece you hit the button and the
other player's timer starts counting down. When they finish moving they
hit their but
It seems like this is something Automator or Applescript could do on its own,
with the advantage that you could assign a hotkey to the script so you would
not have to leave the email or chess application. Again, more details from the
OP on how exactly this works and is being used would help.

Hi Chris,
You are correct when saying that a chess clock has to counters. There is an
iPhone app that is almost accessible, but it is not quite.

Hi Brandt,
There is an iPhone chess clock app that is accessible with VoiceOver
called the Merkmatics Chess Clock ($0.99 in the U.S. App Store).
Unfortunately, it does not seem to be available in the South African
App Store, (I know you remember the problems of getting the
accessible versions of
Hi Esther,
As you stated, correctly I might add, the app is not available in the South
African app store.
It is also rather inconvenient to have the clock on the phone and to have to
wright the game moves on the mac.
Being that I am actually not in the USA with access to said store, I would ha
Sorry, but I'm still not getting it. If a chess clock needs two timers, would
you not need two clocks? Also, if time is essential, is it not faster to use
the iPhone so you don't have to switch from app to app? I'm just trying to
figure out how this might be accomplished on the mac in the easies
Hi there,
The two clocks must be linked, meaning when you are timing a game, you must be
able to stop one clock and have the other run with one keystroke. That is why I
believe apple script is the way to go, for you can have it integrate with
voiceover.
For example, Starting the clock for whit
Okay, so when the white clock starts, the black automatically stops, right? I'm
actually not sure a script can do this, since it would have to sit in the
background constantly. Calling a script with the keyboard commander (or any
commander for that matter) starts the script, so there would be no
