Ah, is it like the NVDA controller client, without a client?

It's for those programming on the Mac. If you are not a developer, you
can safely ignore this message. The function essentially forces VO to
speak a string, which is something that I've been looking for for
quite a while. This way, apps can use VO directly instead of using a
speech synthesizer. Very handy, but again, only useful to developers.

This looks like what I've been searching for for a while now, thanks
for sharing! What is the second parameter, though? Can it be nil,or
does it need to be some NSView object or subclass? Also, in your
demo, why provide the string "Hi" instead of using the string that
was passed n? I just want to be sure I understand the process.
Thanks again.

Hello, this is a tidbit for those of you interested in developing
for OSX,
I have dug through tons of documentation on VoiceOver accessibility
and submitted several support tickets to apple for assistance and I
finally wrote this function I thought I'd share with everybody:
-(void)speakString:(NSString *)stringToSpeak
fromFocusedUIElement:(id)object
{
NSDictionary *announcementInfo = [[NSDictionary alloc]
initWithObjectsAndKeys:stringToSpeak,
NSAccessibilityAnnouncementKey, @"High",
NSAccessibilityPriorityKey, nil];
NSAccessibilityPostNotificationWithUserInfo(object,
NSAccessibilityAnnouncementRequestedNotification, announcementInfo);
}
This could easily be expanded on, for instance we could include in
this function a way to tell the object that currently has keyboard
focus to assure that VoiceOver always speaks the string as opposed
to you having to figure it out. We could also add a
NSAccessibilityLayoutChanged notification to refresh the braille
display (Although in some very bizarre cases this causes VoiceOver
to speak twice (once with the announcement, once for the layout
change). In other cases the announcement interrupts the layout
change notification or visa versa, I have yet to figure that bit out.
However I felt like this code snippet could do some people good, so
there it is.
