Has anyone been successful in adjusting the clock settings? I have went to
dock and menu items, selected time to be spoken on the hour, but when I go to
choose a voice, the custom rate, and speed, the ok button won’t activate. Any
work arounds, or has anyone else tried this?
Now you do not say you went to system preffs. You went to the doc and did this.
Maybe you should read my message what do you think?

You must not have read my message. I have done all this, but the ok button
will not activate.

Insert Time Into a Cell in OpenOffice
Your <https://www.apple.com/mac/> Mac has the ability to speak the time every
15, 30 or 60 minutes using a built-in speech synthesizer. If you have
difficulty seeing the system clock or forget to check the time while working,
enabling this feature can help you stay on task and avoid forgetting about your
commitments. Open the "Date & Time" section on the System Preferences menu to
get your <https://www.apple.com/mac/> Mac to say the time.
1
Click the System Preferences icon on the Dock or the <https://www.apple.com/>
Apple icon in the upper right corner of the screen and select "System
Preferences" on the pull-down menu. The System Preferences window appears.
2
Click the Date & Time icon under the System heading at the bottom of the window.
3
Click the "Clock" button at the top of the window.
4
Click to place a check in the box next to "Announce the time" at the bottom of
the window.
5
Click the drop-down menu next to "Announce the time," and select "On the hour,"
"On the half hour" or "On the quarter hour."
6
Click the "Customize Voice" button to change the parameters of the voice
synthesizer used to announce the time.
7
Click the drop-down menu next to "Voice" and select the voice that you want the
<https://www.walmart.com/cp/computers/3951> computer to use when speaking the
time, such as "Bruce," "Fred" or "Kathy." Click the "Play" button in the lower
left corner of the screen after making a change to hear a sample sound clip of
the voice you've selected.
8
Click the "Use Custom Rate" and "Use Custom Volume" check boxes to adjust the
speed or volume of the voice. After clicking one of the boxes, adjust the
slider below to change the value.
9
Click "OK" and then close the Date & Time window to have your
<https://www.apple.com/mac/> Mac begin speaking the time at the interval you
selected.
