Someone wrote a piece of software that, when installed, will create
keystrokes that will announce the time. I believe you can find it in
the Macvisionaries archives; I'm looking for it now, as of this
writing. Richie Gardenhire, Anchorage, Alaska.

Subject: Re: Checking the time
I can't speak for Windows screen readers, but to answer your
question there isn't a single keystroke to do this. It's just as
easy as the keystroke invoked with JAWS but not just one keystroke
movement.

Hey there all,
This may sound like a funny question, but is there a single
keystroke for VoiceOver which allows you to check the time? If
not, I have to wonder why since this is a tiny but very important
piece of information that I'm surprised wouldn't have been
resolved, sine sighted individuals basically have it staring them
in the face whenever they use their machines. Also, on every
windows screenreader, this issue has been covered.
