JR,
Can you see what the script is doing? How it saves all the text from the
full window area, then treats it as a single string, delimited by carriage
returns. Using some of FS's built in functions, the part of the string
after the last carriage return is extracted, and this is the last line from
the screen. If your application has a status bar, this text will be what is
displayed on the status bar, since the status bar is positioned at the
bottom of the screen. We can add to the script, treating the last line of
text itself as a string delimited by space characters, and using exactly the
same technique, extract any of the words we want to be spoken. What you
will need to do is tell us which words from the status bar you want spoken:
is it the third and fourth words? Is it the first and fifteenth words?
Only you can say.
Over to you.
Martin
