That's what they currently have. There is a checkbox in preferences to turn on speaking of incoming messages since it's a feature that might be useful to everyone but they don't want to turn that on by default. So I had flagged that incoming messages didn't speak and they said to just turn on the preference. That's great but it would be better if they could have detected that I had voiceover on and just turned that on for me. As far as their developers could tell there is no way to do this in OSX.

Could he not use the system voice to speak incoming messages and provide an option to the user?

that preference was turned on by default if the app detected that
voiceover is running. On iOS I found a
UIAccessibilityIsVoiceOverRunning() method which returns a boolean and a
UIAccessibilityVoiceOverStatusChanged notification but had no luck
digging up an OSX equivalent. Does anyone know how to do this so I can
pass it along to the developer?
