Yes, that may be the "magic" command that we have all been waiting for
for use with that valuable key with the dot on it!

Yes, I understand now that's what he meant and would agree.

Walt,
I think he meant the current time position in the MP3 file, but
instead
of having it lumped in with all the other stats, have it spoken by
itself when another key is pressed. I agree that 5 would be a nice
choice for this.

We already have the time with a single keystroke, key 2 held down for
one beep. As to the second, I don't see this as being even remotely
technically feasible, given all of the parameters that would have to
be
considered--size of file, reading rate, etc. The percentage figure
allows me to make a rough approximation of the reading time and in any
case, I don't even find this to be a particularly necessary piece of
information except in very rare circumstances.

Hi folks,
I just downloaded the latest fermware beta and it works fine. A couple
of
suggestions however:
1. How about the ability to speak current time with a keystroke,
perhaps
key
5 once?
2. What about the ability to try to acertain the entire length of the
file
in hours minutes and seconds. I'm not sure how easy that would be to
implement though.
Would be interested in your thoughts.
Best
