Cool. That sounds good. I just didn't know if we would have to type anything else to indicate it was a string of text or whatever. Sounds like it will be pretty simple. As for the remaining or to charged, it would be great, but totally not necessary. To be honest, what I mostly care about is the

The script is part of a series of scripts that will let you speak a bunch of data with one keystroke. So yes, you could vo-m-m, then vo-arrow (a tedious task if you have a lot of apps in the menu extras area) until you find your battery, then escape to return to where you were... Or you could as

Alex, Can I just ask, as I may have missed this. My MacBook Air already gives me this data. I perform a VO MM and arrow to the battery level, there if my Air is charging I here that it is on mains power and x many hours/minutes until full, likewise, if I am operating on battery power I here Ba

I think it would be even better if those numbers were read out as hours and minutes, rather than just numbers. So, for instance, 90%, not charging, 3 hours and 10 minutes remaining, or 50%, charging, 1 hour until charged. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Gro

Okay, thanks. I've really only ever used desktops, so wasn't sure what that time was for. In the script, as long as you know it is "charging" or "not charging", I don't need to state what the time is for, right? I mean, if you heard something like, 90%, 1:10, charging or 50%, 2:16, not charging

Hi, Yes, when the laptops are charging, the time readout is the amount of time until the battery is fully charged whereas when it is simply running on battery power, that is the amount of time left of usable charge. Later... Tim Kilburn Fort McMurray, AB Canada On 2013-06-02, at 8:08 PM, Alex

question about time readout for Macbook battery

2013-06-02 Thread Alex Hall
Hi all, I'm finalizing the battery script for my project, and I noticed something odd. There's still a time estimate when my Macbook is charging, but it's shorter than the estimate given when the Mac is not charging. Is the one given when charging an estimate of how long the battery will take to
