One way I've done this, is by using the following method
Let TextString = GetTextInRect (GetWindowLeft (GetCurrentWindow()),
GetWindowTop (GetCurrentWindow()), GetWindowRight (GetCurrentWindow()),
GetWindowBottom (GetCurrentWindow()), 0, ci_editorSelectedTextClr,
ci_editorSelectedBGClr, true)
I used the NewTextEvent function to append the following color values to the
clipboard, nTextColor and nBackgroundColor, in order to get the desired
color values when performing the action that produced the text with these
color combinations, then created a couple of constants to hold these values.
This should reliably announce the text that you desire when calling the
function.
