Using the control key has always worked for me. Many times when I am carrying out a task, I do not always need to hear what VO is saying. Muting speech at such times is not an option whereas pausing speech is.

In my experience it does not always pause what VO is speaking in the moment.

 The control key does exactly what is is supposed to do. It "pauses" what Voiceover is speaking at the moment. It will not pause what VO speaks next.

Tapping control only works for me some of the time.  I frequently have to tap it more than once.  It’s still handy, just not 100% reliable.

Hi,

Do you know pressing the control key pauses speech?
But if you want to have a hot key to mute speech, it can be done.
I have been doing it for years.
I am surprised that no-body has mentioned adding a commander.
I use option plus the tiller or AKA the grove key located under the escape key.
I will look for my notes on how to do it.
Thanks,
Rob

Hi, Group.
Can I mute voiceover speech with Keyboard?
I am not talking about trackpad, I am talking about keyboard.
Thanks!
