Battery Script not working with Keyboard Commander

Hello everyone. I just got an M1 MacBook Air yesterday and love it! I have a VO battery script that I tried to use with the Keyboard Commander and it hasn't been working. Has anyone else noticed this?
Make sure you are using the Option key on the right hand side of the keyboard in combination with the T key. Additionally, I have noticed this script goes from working, to not working at all depending on individual updates of the Mac OS. It worked for me for awhile. I noticed since I performed an update recently, the script is back to reading in the Alex voice (not my default voice) and at the default rate. The consistency of this script working is not very reliable. Updates seem to modify or break the script.
I have noticed that my custom Time/Date script for Voiceover doesn't work after my Mac is restarted. I eventually realized it only works after the Voiceover utility is opened, so I added VoiceOver Utility to the apps automatically started after log-in. Now I only have to close the VoiceOver utility. I used to think I had to uncheck and recheck the option for using Apple Scripts with Voiceover. Now the Time/Date script works every time.
Just thought the same thing might be happening with your battery level script. I kind of wish I had that.
