Just in time for the CSUN Convention. For some time I have heard from Windows based screen readers users and vendors that one omit ion in VoiceOver is the lack of the ability to script the functions of the screen reader on the MacOS.
As it turns out VoiceOver does indeed include the functions needed to script its use. These options are part of the AppleScript scripting environment that ships with every Macintosh computer and can be used to automate the actions of many Macintosh applications. The issue has been that there has been no documentation as to how to work with VoiceOver with AppleScript. to address this I have started to document the use of AppleScript with VoiceOver. While this is a fairly technical topic some you you may find the following pages useful: http://www.cbtbc.org/tools/asvo/index.php This documentation is very much a work in progress. There is still much to learn about the implementation of AppleScript and it's control over VoiceOver. There are, for example over 200 VoiceOver English commands for the perform command action alone. However I have already been able to write several test scripts I hope some will find this information useful please feel free to pass this along to those who might benefit from this information.
