Hi Alex, Thanks for responding. I've been trying command+f5 repeatedly and no luck. A sighted person tells me when I press command+f5 that he can see Voiceover on and off on the screen but I have no speech. It's curious. With sighted help I'm downloading Yosemite as we speak but I'm still disconcerted why I lost speech. Hopefully once the process starts I will get voiceover back.
