Set Sapi = Wscript.CreateObject("SAPI.SpVoice")
 dim str
 if hour(time) < 12 then
 Sapi.speak "Good Morning TechLog"         ' Add Your Own Greetings Message.
 else
 if hour(time) > 12 then
 if hour(time) > 16 then
 Sapi.speak "Good evening TechLog"		   ' Add Your Own Greetings Message.
 else
 Sapi.speak "Good afternoon TechLog"	   ' Add Your Own Greetings Message.
 end if
 end if
 end if
 Sapi.speak "The current time is"           ' Add Your Own Time Greetings Message.
if hour(time) > 12 then
 Sapi.speak hour(time)-12
 else
 if hour(time) = 0 then
 Sapi.speak "12"

 Sapi.speak hour(time)
 end if
 end if
if minute(time) < 10 then
