AppleScript doesn't do so well with event capture I think, so I'm
hoping other languages are available as choices.

Good afternoon Jamal,
I haven't looked into any of the functions made available through the

years. The new part is some openness, I'm not sure how much, to
executing functions that control VoiceOver.
HTH,
Everett
