The reason I assumed you didn't have text
content providing instructions was your
question about using verbs in callouts. If
you are already providing text instructions,
then I would have thought that the only text
you would need in the callouts would be the
names of things. Unless the GUI is particularly
confusing, I wouldn't even think you'd need
that type of callout, frankly, especially
given the difficulties with translating them.
