machine-readable submenu items Can I get the text from a submenu in machine-readable form?
I guess I could try OCR on a screen-shot, but is there something better?



You see, I have this program where some sub-menus come out in Japanese.  Now if I could get them in machine-readable form, I could try Google translate on them and see if I can figure them out.
In this case You can use Accessibility Inspector which is part of the Xcode Developer Tools package (simply install Xcode).

To launch it use Spotlight (⌘ cmd+space bar) and type "Accessibility Inspector". Then turn on inspection pointer with ⌥ alt+space bar, open your contextual menu, point on the item you want to inspect and press ⌥ alt+space bar to lock it again. You'll have all informations about element such as Title, Frame, Type etc. (you can copy paste them to translator if you want)
