[macvoiceover] Re: Voice Over not reading text

Gabe,

        Some questions for you then:
1. Could these Speech Manager commands, which you think are embeded in the text, and are freaking out VO, be the reason why VO sometimes makes a "trilling" sound when reading text? I've had this happen while reading messages in Mail, editing feilds in iTunes, reading profile info in Adium X,, etc.
2. Couldn't a program be written to analyze text for these strings and remove them? 

        3. Could an AppleScript be ritten to do this in various applications?
4. Could some sort of a "system-wide" plugin, patch, or module, be written to monitor any text you're reading, be it in Mail, Preview, an editor, etc, and intercept these codes, before VO gets them and freaks?
I'm not a programmer, so maybe I'm all wet on this one. I'm just a rank amateur, when it comes to OS X, but, given the fact that the core of OS X is open-source, I'm actually surprised that there aren't any plugins, patches, or modules for augmenting VO. Just my thoughts....

again, my suspect is that VO via the speech channel it is using is reading the lines that it is not speaking on a speech manager commands and therefore not reading do to a command syntax error or something to that affect.
