Good morning, It's likely that the speech has been accidentally muted. To unmute speech, do the following: 1. Make sure the trackpad commander is on by holding down the control and option keys and rotating 2 fingers on the trackpad to the right. The action is similar to turning a radio dial to

That is strange as cmd-f5 is always meant to turn VO on or off, or using the Fn-cmd-f5 on macbooks not using function keys with VO. Maybe having a look in system prefs in the universal access but this is a new one to me. Might be an idea to reset the pram, to do this shut the computer off, hit t

Hey folks, My wifes broken something and now VO won't really talk. Here's what's happening. I turn VO on, and he then starts and says speech off. I've restarted and he's still doing the same thing. My wife said all she did was install office. Any ideas? Jorge -- You received this message be
