Hi Justin,

Alex has written this as a perl program. There are AppleScripts  
written by Travis Siegel and Greg Kearney that  can also be used with  
either Spark or Quicksilver.

Here is Travis' saytime script from the archives:

( Re: Date And Time Speaking?)

and here's Greg's AppleScript:

(Re: Checking the time)

One suggestion I'd make is to add a line with:

delay 0.5

or longer time just before the line that begins with "say" in the case  
of these two AppleScripts. That gives VoiceOver a chance to stop  
speaking (from previous actions) so you don't get an interruption when  
the time gets announced.  (This is a suggestion that Josh de Lioncourt  
made in some earlier on list discussions about AppleScripts).  Either  
of these can be pasted into the edit text area of Spark after  
selecting the AppleScript menu option (Command-1).  I'd suggest  
checking the script  by running it in Spark (Command-R), before  
leaving the edit field and assigning a name and shortcut sequence.

Cheers,

Esther
