Trigger live text capture via script

Feature Requests

I’m currently creating a small action which lets me create a new draft by different input options (e.g. dictate / scan document, import audio,…). I wanted to add the live text scanning here, too.
I didn’t find any API to trigger the interface for live text scanning in the scripting reference.
Would be great if this would be possible. currently I need to tap into the editor and select the live text button.

Unfortunately, Apple did not provide APIs to access Live Text programmatically in that fashion. I submitted feedback requesting them during the beta cycle, but got no response.

Thanks for the clarification wasn’t aware of that.
Hopefully they‘ll add an API later…
