Hi everyone, I plan to listen to a continuation of the services I was listening to yesterday, this morning. Prior to going to the site, I will check out the suggestions given to me here to see if they work before I allow Alex to be disrespectful again. I'm truly surprised there is not a native keystroke to mmute voiceover as there is a trackpad gesture. I feel an email going to Apple accessibility. Let's hope it doesn't take them six updates to get it done.
