Currently it uses 12-hour format, but I'm sure you could get 24-hour if you wanted. I'd like the change as well, but don't use the script very often so never looked into it. The key is the original time script, which manages this. As I think about it, I seem to think the current date's hours

Hi all, is there a way to have voiceover reverse the order it announces the time? Time before date? The current way sounds odd. May 8, 11:26 AM It almost sounds like it is saying May 8th 2011 26 AM. Any suggestions? Traci -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the

Alex, thank you for this however, now this is how voiceover reads out the time. 2hours: 22minutes: 32seconds PM, Wednesday, May 8, 2013 Could it be because I'm using Samantha compact as my default voice? Lol, kooky there, I just answered my own question. I switched to Alex and he spoke it

I have the opposite from you. I've noticed a quicker response in 10.7.1 than 10.7. Having read the thread concerning the time script, it gave me motivation to go and do what I've always wanted to do. I've always wanted to hear the time before the date. So I tweaked the script to speak the time
