Hi all.
So as everybody knows, if you hit VO-F8, you get the time and date. But I just get "8:52 pm, March 6, 2025". Can I get the day as well? The only place I see to change clock display settings is in control center, and that has the day checked. But I don't know if that's where Voiceover is getting its time and date options from.

What I did especially after…
What I did especially after sequoia is to create keyboard shortcuts for announce time and announce date, I believe they're under information submenu. Not only you can control which shortcut does what but these are voiceover native and not applescripted, I really really don't get why the defaults of voiceover are still the old useless slow applescript.
Ah cool, thanks.
I did see those, and I keep meaning to get around to setting one or both up, since I can set it to VO f12, which I'm much more familiar with thanks to Windows. Time to stop being lazy I guess!
Doesn't seem to work.
I went into VO utilities and added caps f12 to speak time, and caps f11 to speak date. Date still just reads numbers, March 7, 2025, not the day. I'd like "Friday March 7, 2025" or the like.
I used to use an old script for this
I don't know if people still do AppleScript stuff anymore, but when I ran my MacBook, I used to use scripts for things like this. If I am remembering correctly, mine was just a modified version of one of Brian Smart's scripts. I can post the code on here if you guys want.
