Sometimes you can add some functionality to an application.  For example if you 
 come across a button which says "button" and does not read out what the button 
actually does, then you can manually label that button.

First of all whilst on the button press control + option + shift + h to see if 
the button has a alternative help tag, if so then great we are in business and 
if not then ask someone sighted to assist you.  

Whilst still at the non labelled button press control + option + / (slash).  
you will now be prompted to enter a label for the button.  Enter a label and 
hit return.  Now the next time your VoiceOver cursor moves over that button it 
will be fully labelled and visible to you.  You can also label images the same 
way.

Failing that, email the developers of the product and explain the issues you 
are having with the product and how they could improve the product to enable 
you to operate it.
 usually you can find how to contact a developer by going  to the About menu 
item within the product or sometimes it is in the help menu.  Failing that use 
google to find the developers website, or www.versiontracker.com
