Hi there!
In your experience, is this a good way to announcing the time?
Code: Select all
on mouseUp
put "The time is" into a
put the short system time into b
revSpeak a && b
end mouseUp
Please, tell me your opinions!

Hi,
Sure, it is a nice way to tell the time. There are many ways to do it. Here's another one:
Code: Select all
constant dot = "."
on mouseUp
put the english time into myTime
put the last word of myTime into myDayPart
delete the last word of myTime
set the itemDel to colon
if item 2 of myTime is "00" then
revSpeak "The time is" && item 1 of myTime && "o'clock" && myDayPart & dot
else
revSpeak "The time is" && item 1 of myTime && "hours and" && item 2 of myTime && "minutes" && myDayPart & dot
end if
end mouseUp
Kind regards,
Mark
