Date and time help for low Vision users

I'm looking for a way to display the current time, date and day of the week on a computer screen in a really HUGE size.

A member of my family has low vision, but with the help of the built-in Magnifier Windows 7 and other features of "accessibility", it still manages to use his computer, barely. However, it can read is no longer a clock, watch or calendar. As a result, it can easily lose track of time, date and even the day of the week. It is very disorienting for him.

What they need is a program that responds to the touch of a button in arising of a display time, date and day of the week in a very large size on its screen. Ideally, the program would temporarily display this information in a large black print on a white background for a few seconds, after which it would disappear until he presses the button to make it appear again. Or it can be assigned to the screen until this that clicked with the mouse.

I still think that a request to do this kind of thing may already exist, but I've not been able to find. The widget Windows Date and time, and the Gadgets are too small and contain too much information. All we need is a way to show a bare minimum of information:

Monday
July 4
13:25

Or something like that, but very large. The only required options are a way to specify the size of police and the duration of the display.

Any suggestions? Thank you!

-Jeff

Your best bet would be to Google something like a clock on the screen for users with low vision.

  • Working with date and time of the request for help from acrobat JavaScript...

    This coming from

    Working with date and time in Acrobat JavaScript (part 1 of 3)

    The following code adds five days to the current date, and then prints the new date in the console window.

    Get the date and time

    var rightNow = new Date();

    Get the value of millisecond

    Article date

    var msRightNow = rightNow.getTime ();

    Calculate in milliseconds, of 5 days

    5 days x 24 hours/day x 60 min / h x 60 s / min x 1000 ms/s

    Challenge of var = 5 * 24 * 60 * 60 * 1000;

    Do the calculation of var CFAbsoluteTime = msRightNow + challenge;

    Create a new Date from the calculated value

    var theNewDate = new Date (finalTime);

    In the actual work on a form code, you'll want to place the

    the object of a field value. But since this is test code, we will

    Print the result to the Console window (great for debugging)

    Console.println ("5 days from now is:" + theNewDate.toString ());

    The foregoing is the exact code (cut and paste)

    The error I get here is;

    ReferenceError: theNewDate is not defined

    1:Console:exec

    undefined

    To get the "undefined" question a lot... it seems to me, learn to distinguish the undefined 'of type' undefined 'variable' and undefined 'value '.

    in this case 'theNewDate' seems to be defined as a variable equal to the current date plus 5 days... BUT I am now "educated" enough to 'see' Why am I getting the error...


    Any thoughts... Any who...

    You need to highlight all the text that you want to run.

    You have not set the rightNow variable before you can apply a method to the variable.

    You can just add a new variable as msRightNow name. Why not use rightNow.

    Executes the code that you provided with a new departure of Acrobat, I get the following error messages:

    rightNow.getTime is not a function

    1:Console:exec

    TypeError: rightNow.getTime is not a function

    1:Console:exec

    undefined

    What you are showing probably works because your previous attempts have left behind them a variable "rightNow" and as long as you do not have the object of time date change too much, you will not notice the error.

    Cleaning of your code:

    get the number of milliseconds of the date object.

    rightNow var = (new Date()) .getTime ();

    define 5 days in milliseconds;
    Challenge of var = 5 * 24 * 60 * 60 * 1000;

    Add 5 days to the value of this moment and assign the result to the last time;
    var CFAbsoluteTime = rightNow + challenge;

    convert finalTime value in a date object.
    var theNewDate = new Date (finalTime);

    display the result;
    Console.println ("5 days from now is:" + theNewDate.toString ());

    Have you tried the code that I provided, it is another way to add days to the date object.

  • Setting date and time for several photos

    Thank you for providing the space for new users and thank you in advance for your help.

    Currently, I'm moving across lightroom and apple aperture/iphoto 5.

    The part of OCD I like to have my library organized, and I noticed that when I transferred my library everywhere he is in a bit of a mess, so I'm currently putting together the library and it cleaning (around 18000 photos)

    Anyway, I almost settled on a folder structure (YYYY/MM - I for the number of photos I have try on the nut until days could be for many - happy to receive Advisor on it also)

    For the most part, the photos have the date and time of the beginning of the digital age (for me from 2006)

    Photos prior to 2006 are in the negative, and I am currently underway with these scanned and imported into the library, I have a lot each month.  Set the date and time from the date of creation, this is where I am running into trouble.

    I looked around the web and various forums without success.

    First of all, I organize the pictures in the correct order.  Then I select the first photo and then select it the remaining photos.  I then select the date/time setting in the menu and select the first option, ajuster to adjust to the new date and time, say on 01/01/1990 to 1200 hours.

    The result I get is the first photo (the photo so good term) 01/01/1990 @ 1200 as the date and time, others have 01/01/1990 Date (if I'm lucky), and the time of jumping around.  Sometimes it wont even change the date time for the remaining photos.

    What I want to achieve is the time even for all the photos when I select a lot, or increment in time by a lump (is to say 1 minute (1200/1201/1202) or 1 second (1200:00 / 1200:01 / 1200:02)) and I seem not to be able to work it to do this automatically, currently, I have to do this by adjusting each photo (some 200 at a time) which is really manual labor)) intensive

    Thanks in advance and hoping an easy solution

    free. There are other publishers had EXIF free that may be useful to

    you. Some are better than others, and all have a learning curve. I suggest

  • Script Automator for the DATE and TIME stamped record

    Hi all

    I'm not a scripter, but are in need of a DATE and time-STAMPED folder (or file) I would like to put on my desktop and have updated automatically so that I can use this tool to quickly see if a backup external (or internal) is current. probably I could also use it to quickly find out how /old/ a backup is.

    for now, I do this manually if I want to quickly verify that a backup works by creating a "date named folder" on the desktop - such as '-2016 03 26 "."» so I can quickly see if a backup I just ran ran.

    I have a lot of backups (internal, external, off site, etc.) and it would be super useful for me to have.

    I consider the name of the folder to be customizable (potentially) in case I need to change it, but a good default would be "-YEAR MONTH DAY" so that I could see easily when this backup has been but also I name my files in this way so they can appear in chronological order "."

    is anyone able to help me with something like that or suggest another forum for cross-post this?

    Thank you

    You are also looking to taste to 1 Hz data acquisition?

    My approach would be to use the DAQ acquisition to time your loop display reading each acquisition, then use the loop counter to control the logic of your writing to file.  For 1 Hz and 10 minutes write I would use 'quotient and remainder' I / 600; If rest = 0, then write the data point.
