The script is part of a series of scripts that will let you speak a bunch of data with one keystroke. So yes, you could vo-m-m, then vo-arrow (a tedious task if you have a lot of apps in the menu extras area) until you find your battery, then escape to return to where you were... Or you could assign this script to a keystroke, then press the keystroke and hear your battery information.
As to hours and minutes, remember that all these scripts are built around templates. If you want a normal time readout, you'd type $hours:$minutes but if you want a more verbose method, you can just change your template to $hours hours, $minutes minutes and that'll do it. I'll try to add a keyword for "until full" or "remaining". Ideally, I'd like to support simple if statements in templates, but I don't know if that will be done anytime soon, if at all. Still, I'll work on it. On Jun 3, 2013, at 8:11 AM, Neil Barnfather - TalkNav <[email protected]> wrote: > Alex, > > Can I just ask, as I may have missed this.
