It would appear my focus display was still paired with the previous mac so i wasn’t able to pair it with another. I had to remove it from my previous mac and then pairing it with the new one was as expected. Silly me, I should have thought about it sooner. :) > On 26 Oct 2021, at 11:40, Rebe

If you’re using an M1-based Mac system, you can run various iOS applications on it. I won’t be able to test this until my hardware arrives, but I have heard reports that VoiceOver for Mac performs well in this scenario. On 10/25/21, 21:33, "macvisionaries@googlegroups.com" wrote:I think that we sh

My experience of iOS apps on Apple Silicon is that while it works in principle, you probably will find that it’s more trouble than it’s worth in practice. It does depend on several factors, but especially apps that have web views in them are surprisingly difficult to manage. Catalyst (what moder

I know on my Mac it switched voices on me when I updated. I had to add back in my siri voice. Do you have any UsB headphones plugged in? If so, try unplugging them and see if VO comes through the speakers. Could also be a volume level issue. > On Oct 26, 2021, at 11:42, Fazil wrote: > > Hi, G

Hi, I think that Herbie is on the right track. If you have been using a different voice other than Alex, I’ve seen where updates somehow lose the voice you used to have as default. Try using the rotor to pick a different voice. Press VO-cmd-shift-down a time or two to see if you hear any spe

Hi, WEll, we’ve made progress. You now have speech. If VO is announcing that there’s nothing in the VoiceOver cursor, try clicking your mouse or trackpad. If still nothing, try VO-f1-f1 to open the Application Chooser and see what options are there for you. If still nothing, restart your M

Hi, If you have a laptop, simply press down on the trackpad. You’ll feel a click. Similarly, if you have a mouse, press down on the left top side of it and you’ll feel a click. The click is pretty well the same as a VO-shift-space that we use in VO, but not exactly the same. Later… Tim Ki

Did the Monterey update yesterday, and so far it has been a stable update. I have not experienced any accessibility issues, but it has only been 24 hours. Overall, it seems to be pretty much the same as Big Sur, with a few new features. I say there is no reason not to go ahead and update. -
