You should be able to double-tap with three fingers on the touch pad to unmute voiceover.

Hello, I use VoiceOver on my iMac running the latest Catalina. Occasionally I do something which results in VoiceOver speech muted. How can I easily unmute VoiceOver without asking for sighted help? Stopping and restarting VoiceOver with Command+F5 does not help. VoiceOver just restarts with speech off! I note that on my iPhone I can do a 3 finger double tap to toggle speech on and off. It would be great if there were a iMac keyboard command to do this. Many thanks … Paul Hopewell -- The following information is important for all members of the Mac Visionaries list.
