Does anyone know of a way to make sure they can be aware of any major central bank speakers about to make comments, and hear or read them in real time?

For the first question, you need a financial calendar, such as https://www.forexlive.com/EconomicCalendar or similar.

For the second, there are 'live' squawk services available. Talking Forex / RANSquawk used to be good. Then they got acquired and raised prices. But there are others too.

I'd recommend these for times and dates, and data numbers. The numbers come out in a very few seconds of the release
