Thanks all. That was too easy. I was sure I had the "allow AppleScript to control VoiceOver " checked. It wasn't.

You probably need to check allow AppleScript to control VoiceOver in the
VoiceOver utility under general.

There are two ways forAppleScript to speak items
tell VoiceOver to output "Hello there"
and
speak "Hello there"

The first one uses VoiceOver and voiceover preferences.
The second one uses Apple's standard speech language that has been
available since MacOS 7 (and I don't mean 10.7)

Most VoiceOver aware speech scripts will ask VoiceOver to say the area
of the voiceover cursor and if that command fails it will then use the
Speak command, but if the get bounds of VO Cursor succeeds then it will use
tell VoiceOver to output theString

       I ike it too. Only one problem, VO speech is slower than in other
    areas. I don't remember if I ever fixed this when I used scripts before.

                Hey guys. For those of you who wanted the battery
                script, I'll paste
                the dropbox link at the end of the message. I was going
                to do this
                last night but I was tired and didn't have the energy to
                find it. To
                have it run, simply go to your Mackintosh HD in finder,
                then go to
                library than scripts. Find the Voiceover folder then
                paste the
                script. To use it, simply press right option+B.
                As for Matthew's email problem, are you using VO+J to
                read your
                messages or are you pressing return? I press return when
                reading
                emails and this doesn't happen to me. Anyway, here's the
                Dropbox link.
