Pausing Speech to Announcethe Time

[Richie Gardenhire]

I don't know if this is of amy importance to some of you, but I would 
like to suggest to developers at Apple, to implement something where, 
when reading mail or other documents, when the clock announces the 
time, a built-in pause feature is put in so that VoiceOver is 
interrupted just long enough to announce the time, then continue 
reading.  From time to time, VoiceOver keeps on reading the document, 
even when the clock starts to tell the time, but the clock is 
overshadowed by VoiceOver's continuous reading.  Even if it's just a 
three to five second pause would, in my opinion, be plenty sufficient.  
I, for instance, have the clock set to announce the time within the 
quarter hour.  As I said, this probably is insignificant of a 
suggestion, except to say that I would like to know the time and I'm 
willing to wait three to five seconds, for voiceOver stop reading, long 
enough for the announcement and then resume its job.  Richie 
Gardenhire, Anchorage, Alaska, just putting the suggestion out there.
