RE: getting the time and date with one press of insert f12

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.

        Just to add to my previous message. You could  modify the
SaySystemTime script but I think the code that I wrote in my earlier message
is easier. However, the SaySystemTime script is the one you want to modify
if you want to do it that way.

SayUsingVoice ( VCTX_MESSAGE, "it is "+SysGetTime()+" "+SysGetDate(),
ot_No_Disable)

Just put the above in desired script and assign keystroke to it. Easy as
pie.  E.G.

Script test ()
SayUsingVoice ( VCTX_MESSAGE, "it is "+SysGetTime()+" "+SysGetDate(),
ot_No_Disable)
EndScript

Subject: getting the time and date with one press of insert f12

                Hi folks, I'm pretty sure this is a scripting issue, and
I've never
been able to wrapp my mind around the scripting language, all accept
for code that I've gotten from other folks and put to use
myself.  But like the subject line says, I've noticed that other
screenreaders give you the time and date with one press of a hot
key.  With JAWS, you have to press insert f12 twice to do this.  So,
is there a script, or some other type of modification I can make so
that JAWS will say, 1:32 PM on August 27th, 2007?
Note the time I gave is my current time just as an example. I'm
pretty sure this can be done, but I've never understood why JAWS
doesn't do this too.

                        Thanks for any help.
