Hi,
No probs. You could have modified the default SaySystemTime script if you
wanted but I prefer to make my own because in the event you want to have the
old behaviour back, it is just then a matter of changing your hotkey from
your new Time script back to the default SaySystemTime script.

David, you rock!!!
This worked great, although I must admit the first time I tried it, I
forgot to capitalize the v in SayUsingVoice, and I had to repair JAWS
but that wasn't much of a problem, that only took a couple minutes.
but now when I press jaws key plus f12, it says, and I quote, "It is
9:32 PM Monday, August 27th, 2007. That's cool.
Thanks so much.
