I do this: alias tm='date +"\%l \%M \%P" | say -fi /dev/stdin' Then all you have to do is type 'tm' and it will say the current time. For example, "ten fourty one P M". That uses the DECtalk speech engine but you could also use espeak. alias tm='date +"\l \%M \%P" | speak Or you could have it speak through whatever synth you're using for speakup by just saying date +"%l %M %P" For that matter, you can just say 'date'. ----- Original Message ----- From: "Lorenzo Taylor" <lorenzo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> To: "Speakup is a screen review system for Linux." <speakup at braille.uwo.ca> Sent: Thursday, March 01, 2007 9:39 AM Subject: Re: OT: saytime program > -----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- > Hash: SHA1 > > There is a saytime program that sounds better than the one in Debian? > Hm.
