In addition to a graphical user interface, TextBridge Pro supports
an AppleScript™ interface.
AppleScript is Apple Computer's system-software-level scripting
system for the Macintosh. With AppleScript you can run
TextBridge from scripts without using the keyboard or mouse.
Thus, you can automate repetitive tasks, such as detecting and
recognizing fax files, as they are received on your system.
You can also use AppleScript to integrate TextBridge Pro with
your word processor or other applications.
TextBridge Pro is fully scriptable and recordable. It not only
responds to Apple events, but also allows you to write your own
scripts by recording the events as they occur.
This chapter describes the capabilities of the TextBridge Pro
AppleScript interface and defines the AppleScript terms
understood by TextBridge Pro as follows:
Writing TextBridge Pro scripts
TextBridge Pro objects
TextBridge Pro commands
To use the TextBridge Pro AppleScript interface, you must have
Note
installed AppleScript on your system as directed by Apple
Computer, Inc.
This chapter does not intend to document AppleScript or the
Script Editor. For detailed information about AppleScript, refer to
your Apple Computer, Inc. documentation.
