Hi Gale!

Thanks so much for doing this.
I noticed the following that might be interesting related to the bug #33:

1. If you press command-Z for undo an action Voiceover reads the action before 
the one you actually want to undo.
Example: Import an audiofile and apply any effect to it. Like compressor from 
Audacity. Imported via Command-Shift-I.
Now undo the compressor while Voiceover is running. It will say: Undo Import, 
which is not correct. If you go to the Edit-menu instead of using the keyboard 
the action is read probably.

2. When resaving a project the save-option looks dimmed from Voiceover's 
perspective. Therefor I can't actually tell that the project is saved.

Just a few observations from here.

Best regards
Thomas
