I had heard that there were a sequence of steps to be done at the log in screen, at least just before the Mac side of things booted up. I just was not certain what the order was. I know if this is done at the log-in screen, you will not have any speech. I am assuming there will be some speech if I used the steps Phil initially described, i.e. using system preferences to get back and forth?
