Hi all,
I've been studying the Kindle Cloud Reader, as being a web-based app, it could be more readily made accessible to VoiceOver with scripting. I've put the native Mac app issue on hold for now, as UI Browser has expired and I can't purchase at the moment.
I've tested the following:
set theScript to " document.getElementsByTagName ('iframe')[0].innerHTML();"
tell application "Safari"
activate
set theText to do JavaScript theScript in document 1
-- tell application "VoiceOver" to output theText
end tell
Or, a variation, like:
set theScript to " document.getElementByID (‘kindleReader_book_container’).innerHTML();"
tell application "Safari"
activate
set theText to do JavaScript theScript in document 1
-- tell application "VoiceOver" to output theText
end tell
Neither of the above, nor any variation on them, has revealed anything but "missing value" in the Script Result field. Is it possible they've set up the text of a book page so it's just not fetchable via code unless one has the mouse actually in the text region, or selects some text? If such is the case, scripting may not even be possible, unless Amazon would let me buy just a small bit of technical documentation specifying which web elements need to be clicked; even that may not help if mouse movement is absolutely required, as for security reasons one can't do that in a script.
