Hi,
does anyone know how to change the way VO speaks the date and time in the Apple
script used in Keyboard Commander? It sounds strange to hear the english format
for date and time spoken out by a german voice. So hopefully someone can
understand what I mean and can help.
All the best

Hi,
Just to add, one can toggle the keyboard commander on/off with VO shift K. And
to answer the question about reading the title of the window in which voiceover
is currently focused, its VO F2.

Hi, guys,
I've noticed for quite some time that when I press right-option-t for time as
the default for the VO keyboard commander time and date, there's about a
twenty-second delay before anything is spoken. I'm just curious if anyone else
has experienced this.

Here is another way of checking the time with a 2 finger keyboard command.
Open up Voiceover utility with VO F8.
Interact, arrow down to commanders, then stop interacting.
VO right arrow to the keyboard tab, select it with VO spacebar.
VO right arrow once more

ut this checked, and even some AppleScripts such as Speak
Time and Date. Part of the disadvantage to using the Keyboard COmmander with
scripts is that it takes them a while to load, as they apparently are not kept
in memory, which you will notice if you try doing it twice rapidly as opposed
to doing
future reference.
Here we go.
go into your voiceover utility and activate the ability to use apple script. I
thought that there was another setting that needed to be changed, however I
cannot find it. Now when you do right option t you will get the time and date.
Hope that this helps.
