Hi Daniel, Some places where I need to get the text of something VoiceOver says, I just use VO-Shift-C (copy last phrase to pasteboard). If I want to examine the text in detail, I'll paste it i(Command-V) nto a TextEdit window. This command works in all sorts of places where I can't do a copy, etc. It also works in places where there is an embedded character that VoiceOver announces. It's particularly useful when I want to assign shortcuts to menu options and don't know how to type the exact characters. For example, I now know that an ellipsis can be typed with Option+; (…), but I wouldn't have been able to type in menu commands that end with an ellipsis to assign a keyboard shortcut except by using VO-Shift-C. This is a really useful keyboard shortcut. It also works if I want to retrieve an accented name of an Artist, Album, or Song from the iTunes Store to update the tag information in an iTunes track listing. Also, it's great for copying and reporting cryptic error messages that you get that you want to send off to your computer support people or to Apple.
