This would work for us if we could drag the variable at all, so far
it's not accessible with VO so potentially this could work just fine
but no dice for now.

Hi. I've never had any luck working with variables in automator. I
don't know if they don't work with voiceover, or if I just haven't

Apparently working with variables is a general problem in
Automator. See
this Mac OS X Hints page for some workarounds:

Listers I'm trying hard to follow the below instructions for
creating a custom work flow in Automator for displaying my IP
address. Can someone help me troubleshoot what could be going wrong?
I don't know if it's the dragging and dropping or what.
1) Create a custom workflow
2) Click on "Variables" at the top of the Library list
3) In the "System" category, double click the "IP Address" variable
to add it to the bottom of your workflow
4) Click on "Actions" at the top of the Library list
5) In the "Utilities" category, double click the "Ask for
Confirmation" action to add it to your workflow
6) Drag the "IP Address" variable from the bottom of your workflow
to the "Message" field of the "Ask for Confirmation" action
That's it. If you run the workflow, your IP address should be
displayed in a dialog.
Hope this helps.
