I am new to Cocoa and Mac dev, and I want to make a simple

me how to get any words on screen where cursor points in Cocoa?
I'm not exactly sure how the built-in Dictionary app does this; I
think it's using the accessibility or screen-reading system APIs. This
doesn't seem like something you'd want to get into as a newbie Cocoa
developer. I would advise focusing on building regular apps for a
while until you get comfortable with Cocoa, before starting on things
that interact with other applications.
