Thanks for reply, John.
The accessibility API is quite useful for grabbing info from UI elements, but it seems to be unable to grab a single word. For example, when I point the mouse to a word in a web page, the accessibility API returns either all the texts in a paragraph or selected texts. I hope to be able to grab a single word without actually selecting it. This seems to be a more tricky task.

I believe the Dictionary thingy uses a combination of the Accessibility API and the DocumentAccess suite of Text Services Manager Carbon events.
