Anna,There are a couple of things you can check: 1. In Voiceover Utility, go to the Verbosity item and click on the Announcements tab. Make sure the "Automatically speak text in dialog boxes" checkbox is checked.
2. In System Preferences, go to the Speech pane and select "Text to Speech". See if the "Announce when alerts are displayed" checkbox is checked. HTH Marsh On Jul 30, 2009, at 7:13 AM, Jonathan C.
