Re: Keystroke form muting voiceover
Hello Robert, If and when you get time and get back to your Mac, please send me the proper info off list. I don't want to generate more issues other then what's pertinent to the question. Also, as I am not familiar with how to run a script if you can give fairly detailed instructions I would appreciate it, I can follow them, yet can't stray too far from them as I don't know what I'm doing other than verbatim what I'm told. Again thanks to everyone.

Re: Keystroke form muting voiceover
And, as I said, no it doesn't mute it. That totally disables Voiceover in a whole and makes it stop running, which could be a potential issue if she needed to command+tab to other screens. Yeah, she then could just toggle it back on the same way, then however, she's right back at square 1 with Alex being himself, so meh, I don't think so.

Re: Keystroke form muting voiceover
You're correct, provided she has a trackpad. If not, I'm not aware of a command from the actual keyboard to do this, however, you definitely could very easily map the action to a keyboard commander which then would! give you a keyboard command to do it on the fly.

Re: Keystroke form muting voiceover
Robert, She doesn't want to completely disable Voiceover. She just wants to mute it. Your solution certainly would work, but it might be overkill. The thing is, if she needed to command+tab to another window, say to take notes or something, then she'd still have no speech. Great suggestion, but, I'm just not so sure it would be the most comprable.

Re: Keystroke form muting voiceover
I think that's dependent on the display. Remember, not all displays have typing keys on them like a braille keyboard.

Re: Keystroke form muting voiceover
Chris, There is almost always more than one way to accomplish something. What works for me may not meet your criteria, its irrelevant. Why can't we just offer the various options and let people choose what works for them? This constant back and forth does little to further the cause. A good trainer would operate with this mindset.
