To add what Ray has said. Once you’ve setup your Mac the way you like it. It maybe a good idea to check the checkbox found in system preferences, Users and Groups, now your in a table. Arrow down to Login options group and here is where you’ll find the check box which is called, “use Voiceover in the login window.” Note: if Voiceover says dimd afterwards then in this case you will need to keep arrowing right with the VO keys until you here “Click the lock to make changes.” Either a button or a check box choose which ever you want a screen will then pop up asking you to aufenticate in other words type in your password if you do decide to create one once you have setup your Mac. After you’ve done this, that previous Voiceover check box should then be un-dimd so that you can now go ahead and check it. If you forget all this, then no problem just email us again and I’m sure someone here will tell you how to do this again.
The reason why you would want to check this box is for example software updates. Say you was installing a software update for your Mac and it required you to re-start then by having this check box checked it will automatically turn on Voiceover if it re-starts and is installing the new files and the like for the new software update in progress. Of course, you could use the Command F5 command to turn on Voiceover but having this check box checked should hopefully make your life a lot easier. I hope this tip so to speak has helped you and welcome to the list! :) Thanks Daniel On 16 Jan 2014, at 18:34, Ray Foret Jr <rforet7...@comcast.net> wrote: > 1.
