Re: Having Voiceover speak on Yosemite login screen
I just now upgraded to Yosemite, and VO worked through the launcher and at the log-in screen. So far, nothing's really all that different ... * Mark BurningHawk Baxter http://MarkBurningHawk.net/ -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups MacVisionaries group.

Re: Having Voiceover speak on Yosemite login screen
Hello, If you are booting with file vault the answer is no. Because VO cannot talk at that low level. When you boot, Several seconds after the startup chime, press Command F5 and you will hear a beep. Type in your account name. Note, nothing will speak. Press enter and you will hear 2 beeps. Now type in your password. The same thing, nothing will talk. Press enter and you will hear 3 beeps. This means that you are now booting. Depending on how you have your system set, VO will probably start talking once the system is booted.

Re: Having Voiceover speak on Yosemite login screen
Hi Joseph, Thanks for this, that’s useful to know. I’m the only one using this Mac (I disabled the guest account), so I’ll probably just wait a few seconds and enter my password as I don’t have several accounts to cycle through. VO does come on when I do. Alternatively, I might turn off File Vault if it gets too annoying!
