I've read this post (http://lists.apple.com/archives/accessibility-dev/2006/Aug/msg00007.html
) about using the accessibility options to read the text under the
cursor. However, this requires that the user enable access for
assistive devices in System Preferences. The application must
therefore check for that. It also seems quite complicated; I don't
want to have to deal with glyphs and the like - I only want the text
under the cursor, full stop.
The Dictionary application is able to read a word under the cursor
without enabling access for assistive devices.
Does anyone therefore know of an alternative way to do this?
Thanks in advance.
