[nvda] Re: NVDA and clock announcement

Yes I wondered the same about bang myself. # is now sometimes hash and sometimes number but there seems little logic as to when its which, if you see what I mean. I'd also like to turn off Roman completely and have V11 etc back for my sanity.

Subject: [nvda] NVDA and clock announcement
Hello all. I just had a quick question. When pressing NVDA+F12 to listen to the time NVDA seems to have a problem announcing anywhere from the hour to the first ten minutes. For example from 11:00 to 11:09 it says " eleven colon xx," where xx is the minute. After 09 it works fine. Is there any way to fix this? this is minor but I'm not sure how to put it in the speech dictionaries, because I'm not sure if I can use wildcards. One other thing. I am using eloquence with NVDA. When arrowing around windows explorer whenever I highlight a file eloquence botches the announcement of last modified date and time. Instead of saying, "last modified, date/time without the slashes, it replies "questionmark month slash questionmark day slash questionmark questionmark year, time." And instead of reading the date like it's supposed, e.g. january first, 2009 it says only 1/1/2009. in addition to the questionmarks and slashes I wrote. This is not a complaint, but is there any way to fix this? Can it be done through the speech dictionary or does there need to be some code changes? One last thing, why does espeak pronounce slash as stroke and exclaimation mark as bang? It's a little odd to me. Not a complaint, just curious if it can be changed if I want NVDA to pronounce punctuation marks differently. I don't think it's possible since I remember hearing somewhere that NVDA has it's own code for handling punctuation. 
Thanks a lot for any help
