- Thread-topic: VoiceOver and custom text attributes
I believe VO only knows about a set of attributes as defined in NSAccessiblityConstants.h, which is seemingly a subset of everything that NSAttributedString supports. Apple has been adding attributes there recently, e.g. the list attributes starting in 10.11.
The constants take the form of NSAccessibilityFooBarTextAttribute, so you can look for things like NSAccessibilityStrikethroughTextAttribute.
I would love to see support for custom attributes as it would mean we could support a lot of things without having to wait for new keys to be defined in the header.

Hi,
I have VO set to speak attributes when they change in our custom text editor, but I don’t hear any of my custom attribute values being announced as I cursor over the transition point. If I change VO’s configuration to issue a sound when attributes change I hear a beep at the appropriate point, so there’s definitely something happening in my text.
Is VoiceOver limited to reading a set of standard attributes (e.g. bold, italic, etc.), or should it be able to cope with custom attributes?
Best wishes.
Tim Burgess
