Hello all.
I am writing an accessibility plugin in the form of a dynamic library where I need to speechify the functions of the Reaper music recording software for Mac OS X. Because of the way speech APIs work, I am not able to control VoiceOver directly and my only option seems to be using NSSpeechSynthesis class or Carbon speech API. The NSAccessibilityPostNotification doesn’t do what I want, i.e. it doesn’t give me an ability to post messages to VoiceOver at the application level.
The problems with manipulating speech synthesis independent of VOiceOver is that sometimes both will speak at the same time, user preferences will not match, etc, etc.
Are my assumptions above correct? Can I, for example, read VoiceOver preferences and import them into my plugin at runtime? What other options are available to me?
Thanks for any advice.
Best,
Victor
