To start with, just so we are all clear, VoiceOver sound can be output to the same device as the system or can be controlled independently of the system. The control is under the Sounds pane of VoiceOver Utility. I prefer to have mine controlled independently. Just because I want music or movies to be output through my home theatre system at a loud volume, doesn't mean I want to hear VoiceOver chattering at me at the same volume for everyone to hear. I thus have VoiceOver either going through the in-built speakers or to headphones, and sometimes like to switch between the in-built speakers and headphones, while keeping the system sound going through whatever device I have the system sound set to.
So that's what I'm trying to control. It's possible to control manually in the Sounds pane of VoiceOver Utility. However, I want to control it automatically using AppleScript. But as Jonathon said, I'm pretty sure there's no VoiceOver AppleScript terminology (properties or commands) to do this. I looked in the VoiceOver AppleScript dictionary but couldn't find anything. But I'm hoping there might be some other way which I haven't yet considered. On 15 Oct 2014, at 8:15 am, gkearney <[email protected]> wrote: > Just what are you trying to do?
