Apparently all you know is that vo isn't talking. Have you been able to get sighted help to figure out what is wrong. Yes, I too don't have a lot of sighted help and hate being told that, but sometimes there's no other recourse when you run out of ideas. Usually it's kind of hard to know who to

You know, I was thinking about that and realized that, in the interests of not berating a sighted world for this, another corollary should be added. While most of us can't see or have some limits on our vision, it is indeed an extremely visual world and universe. Not that it isn't a world and
