That's exactly what I needed to do.
Thanks for the info.
Time to reread the list of commands and shortcuts.
Help is much appreciated.

Hi,
Voiceover is probably muted so double-tap with three fingers on the trackpad to
unmute it.

Hi everyone,
Having a brain cramp on an issue starting my MacBook Pro with VoiceOver.
Somehow my settings got changed so when I start my computer I hear VoiceOver
on, then "speech off".
What keystrokes do I use to get speech turned back on?
Thanks.

Have you tried double tapping with two fingers, to toggle speech? If this

no I haven’t heard of this issue so far. But: Quick Nav was switched off? To

Hello Jessica,
If you just did an update to Yosemite, you should try doing a clean install of
El Capitan. I’ve seen so much trouble with this update that I would discourage
anyone from doing a simple update rather than a clean install.

OK, you’re on Mavericks. You could try resetting the PRAM. To do this, shut

Power key and until you’ve heard the startup chime four times. T

Hello Jessica,
If you just did an update to Yosemite, you should try doing a clean install of
El Capitán. I’ve seen so much trouble with this update that I would discourage
anyone from doing a simple update rather than a clean install.
If you need instructions, I’ll post them.

Hi, Randy:
I think what you were dealing with is something called Google instant. If I
understand correctly, this causes webpages to change dynamically. You should
find a link on the screen that says something like screen reader users click

Hi Everyone,
With in the past day or so I've begun having issues with voiceover and safari.

collection when deciding what to sync, i tried hitting the first letter of the
names of any of the albums but voiceover would not allow first letter
