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" To: "Speakup is a screen review system for Linux."
