Hi,
We are in the same boat (for a very large ISP) as also need away to detect
this (rdar://4147613 entered June 05).
We have also found a key voiceOverOnOffKey in
~/Library/Preferences/com.apple.universalaccess.plist
Which seems to work OK for the moment. We have also played with the idea
of detecting the screenreader process as well, but we have found it's
stability very up and down at time, as it will reboot itself if it crashes
out.
Would be curious how you detect this AXEnhancedUserInterface interface you
mention programmatically ?
Thanks
Mark.
