Hi,
I'm including the Beta of VO Time here.
1. Paste the following into Text edit.
#!/usr/bin/perl -w
($second, $minute, $hour, $dayOfMonth, $month, $yearOffset,
$dayOfWeek, $dayOfYear, $daylightSavings) = localtime();
my $hrs;
my $AmPm;
if (($hour <= "12") && ($hour > "0"))
{
$AmPm = "AM";
$hrs = $hour;
}
elsif ($hour eq '0')
{
$hrs = '12';
$AmPm = "AM";
}
else
{
$hour = $hour-12;
$AmPm = "PM";
$hrs = "$hour";
}
if ($minute eq "00")
{
$minute = "O clock";
}
elsif (($minute < "10") && ($minute > "0"))
{
$minute = "O $minute";
}
system("say 'The current time is $hrs, $minute $AmPm'");
2. Press "CMD" + "SHFT" + "T" to make it "Plain Text".
3. Save it as Time.pl and place it in your home folder.
4. Get Spark. It is in the VOHelpdesk DMG at:
http://fried-rice.homelinux.net/ .
5. Open Spark.
6. Press "CMD" + "1" to create an Applescript shortcut.
7. "VO" + "Right Arrow" until you hear "Hotkey".
8. Press "FN" + "CTRL" + "Return".
9. Then navigate using "VO" + "Right Arrow" until you hear "Source" tab.
10. Press this with "VO" + "Space".
11. Then navigate to the right again using the same command as before
until you reach the "Edit Text".
12. Paste the following into the text field.
Code:
do shell script "perl ~/time.pl"
13. Navigate to the right again.
14. Find and click on the "OK" button.
You are done.
Regards,
Alex,
Note: I used the shorcut because it is hopefully going to become
standard across Macs. Please try to help me make it a standard.
Regards,
Alex,
