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. -----Original Message----- From: jfw-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx [mailto:jfw-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx] On Behalf Of David Truong Sent: Tuesday, 28 August 2007 10:27 AM To: jfw@xxxxxxxxxxxxx Subject: RE: getting the time and date with one press of insert f12 SayUsingVoice ( VCTX_MESSAGE, "it is "+SysGetTime()+" "+SysGetDate(), ot_No_Disable) Just put the above in desired script and assign keystroke to it.

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. -- JFW related links: JFW homepage: http://www.freedomscientific.com/ Scripting mailing list: http://lists.the-jdh.com/listinfo.cgi/scriptography-the-jdh.com JFW List instructions: To post a message to the list, send it to jfw@xxxxxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe from this mailing list, send a message to jfw-request@xxxxxxxxxxxxx with the word unsubscribe in the subject line.
