Would it be fair to assume your application is running on OSX and not on iOS?

Thanks for the response, but it doesn't answer my question. I would detail my scenario a bit more. The app I am building runs in background and interact with other running apps.
So far I access elements of other apps with the accessibility API: AXApplication, AXWindow, AXElement, etc.
Although an AXElement knows if it has focus or not, the voiceover performs some grained logic I would like to consume.
That's is why I wan't to read the rect of the voice over cursor.
Any clue if it is possible?

- (void)accessibilityElementDidBecomeFocused
- (void)accessibilityElementDidLoseFocus
- (BOOL)accessibilityElementIsFocused
Once you have the element, you may check its frame coordinates to get the VO cursor rectangle.
Does this answer your question?
