Because. When you boot to the USB drive which contains the installer, you then hit command+F5, and Voiceover will begin speaking.

Chris then how do people say you can do this without sighted help? As I have read people have been doing clean installs via a bootable usb drive with VO. Thanks,

I cannot tell you if there is only one thing you're tabbing to, or how many times to do so. That depends on how many startup disk volumes are configured on your system.

You do have the general idea correct though.

As for when to turn on Voiceover, once the system boots, then turn it on. You may have to try several times, but eventually, it should come up.

I hope you're not running into the same nightmare I ran into.

Finally, I wound up having to reformat and just install from scratch with a bootable USB drive, and not run a disk backup image.

Chris,


Just wanted to make sure I have this correct. Start the computer while holding down the option key, then hit tab and enter? Is there only one thing I am tabbing to? When do I try and turn VO back on? Thanks,

Don't arrow. That's your problem. You wanna hit the tab key when in the boot menu. Tab and shift tab. Don't arrow.

Hey all,

So I started my roll back to Yosemite and am stuck. I was able to erase the El Crapitan from my hard drive but do not seem to get VO running when I try and boot up with my bootable USB Install Yosemite drive. Everything I have read says you have to restart your computer and hold the option screen to get to the screen with your bootable thumb drive on it. For some reason I am thinking this screen might not work with VO as I waited over an hour and could not get VO to turn on. Does anyone happen to know how to arrow without VO running to get your bootable disc to launch? If not, is there anyway to boot in to your drive using disk utility as I am back in disc utility but do not see anywhere I can do this and selecting reinstall OS and hitting continue just gives me a you are not connected to the internet error message. Thanks for any help.
