I've had the same issue on both my 2011 iMac running Mountain Lion and 2011 MacBook Air now running Mavericks. Like Tim, I've always solved the problem by turning the TrackPad commander off, and physically clicking it once. This usually brings VO focus back and things work fine. Other times I ju

Good distinction, Ricardo. I do believe VO is on in my case, because other sounds on the Mac are present. However, it probably takes a good minute-minute and a half to get speech back, and it doesn't seem to come on without me toggling VO on and off several times. Best, Donna On Dec 12, 2013,
