I just turned voice over off and on again, and that worked fine. However I have now restarted the Mac and done a OS update, and I just turned off the Mac completely and back on again. I know that the Touch ID was having problems with my finger print as well so hopefully it’s all fixed now. If I didn’t know better I’d say the Mac was upset with me for ignoring it for so long.
