Re: Voiceover Not Starting Automatically on My Sister's MBA
Hi, just got this message now. I'm on my Windows PC doing some stuff. Anyway, VoiceOver is on during shut-down on her computer. I'm going home this weekend for something, and I am going to help my sister update her MBA to 10.9.2 , and will check on the log-in thing and other issues.

If you don't have voiceover enabled when you shutdown or restart, then it won't come up automatically when the system comes back up. Just being sure that you're aware of this.

RE: Voiceover Not Starting Automatically on My Sister's MBA
I don't have Mavericks but I believe that there is now an option in system preferences to start Voiceover at the Login screen if there is a guest account also enabled. You need to apparently have this checked in order to have Voiceover running at any login screen. I cannot give precise instructions as I am not on Mavericks as My iMac keeps on getting an unexpected quit of program every time I try to run the install. I am not quite confident enough to go for the clean install given these problems.

Re: Voiceover Not Starting Automatically on My Sister's MBA
Aa, yes! I was confused. I thought what he meant was once he actually got logged on to the system, it wasn't coming up. Now I see what he's asking. My bad. So yes. you're correct. Go under system prefs to users. In here, interact with the table and below all the users, you should see an option that says something to the effect of login options, I think. Under here, there is a checkbox to get voiceover to speak at the logon screen. Keep in mind though, that once logged in, if voiceover wasn't running the last time you logged out of the account, then though it's running at the logon screen, once you log into an account which previously had VO shut off, when you log in again, it'll still be off until you do your command+F5. The way around this is to be sure that VO is running when you log out.
