Hi, David. Thank you for posting your message strongly suggesting that Jaws users should not try to modify the scripts or apps or whatever they're called, that is, unless you know what you're doing, smile. I would like to have the Jaws key combination to check the time and date to work when pressed one time as opposed to pressing the key combination twice. Yeah, I am spoiled because when I had Window-eyes installed, I could press the key combination only once. Nothing against you personally, Mike B., but I am not about to try to modify scripts to accomplish tasks. However, I do hope the link provided will help me add scripts for such programs as Winamp and any other programs that could use scripts to make them work better with Jaws.

I was asking for a now fellow member, John O'Regan, which I didn't know was a member of this list in hopes someone could provide an answer for him. John has now asked this list in a different way, but I'm sure the answer Tom provided will be read by him, & certainly hope it will solve the problem for the person John is trying to help.

Open the script manager, open the default script with control shift D Look for Script SaySystemTime () You need to remove a few lines. Rather than removing the lines you can comment them out by placing a ; at the beginning of the line Script SaySystemTime () var string sTimeOrDate if GetRunningFSProducts() == product_MAGic && IsSpeechOff() then ExMessageBox(FormatString(cMsgGetSysTimeAndDate,SysGetTime(),SysGetDate()), cscNull,MB_ICONINFORMATION) return endIf ;If (IsSameScript ()) then Let sTimeOrDate = FormatString (cmsgGetSysDate, SysGetDate ()) SayUsingVoice ( VCTX_MESSAGE, sTimeOrDate, ot_user_requested_information) ;Else Let sTimeOrDate = FormatString (cmsgGetSysTime, SysGetTime ()) ;endIf SayUsingVoice ( VCTX_MESSAGE, sTimeOrDate, ot_user_requested_information) EndScript Then copy the line SayUsingVoice ( VCTX_MESSAGE, sTimeOrDate, ot_user_requested_information) And insert it just after Let sTimeOrDate = FormatString (cmsgGetSysDate, SysGetDate ()) Compile the script with JawsKey S Regards Tom Bisset -----Original Message----- From: JAWS-Users-List [mailto:jaws-users-list-boun...@jaws-users.com] On Behalf Of Mike B. Sent: Wednesday, July 05, 2017 2:25 PM To: Jaws-Users List Subject: [JAWS-Users] Jaws Reporting Time & Date Hi All, Is there any way to modify the, Jaws key + F12, keystroke / script so that it will say both the time & date when press ing it just 1 time. This is for a 1 handed child, & turning on Insert key mode only works for 1 press of the Insert / Jaws key, not if you need to press it twice to get the date. All help will be greatly appreciated.
