Dave suggestion is really good and that could be the cause although I’m not
sure if you did that and sent that message just a bit ago. The other thought I
had was it could be a font issue. I have this issue come up once when using Mac
while at work while others were on windows. I had a font that
That shouldn't have anything to do with it.

I would also suggest that you check your system volume level.

Hi,
Often, as VO users, the testing of reading vs visible to the sighted user is
awkward. The font size could be so small that a sighted user won’t be able to
read it, but VO doesn’t care as it is simply taking the text and voicing it.
Similarly, if the font colour was the same as the backgro
Hi,
If Trackpad Commander is off, then doing the three finger double-tap will do
nothing. Prior to doing the three finger double-tap, hold down the VO keys and
twist two fingers clockwise on the trackpad to make sure Trackpad Commander is
actually enabled.
Later…

Tim brings up good points, however, even if the font size is very small and
cannot be seen by a sighted individual, a screen reader on windows should still
be able to read the message.

Thanks, Ali. It's definitely not a sound muting problem, as VO+F5 gives
me speech for Voiceover Off, then a second time Voiceover On, speech
off.

Thanks, Tim. I do that and get no feedback of any kind. I've tried
exactly this quite a few times.

Hello,
if you use a braille display this can be toggled with the M chord. If not, the
only way I know to toggle without changing default voiceover settings is with
the trackpad commander and three finger double tap.

Hello,
I used to experience something like this in reverse. My father used to send me
emails that I could read with voiceover but anybody else in thee family said
were completely blank. He wcomposed his messages with High Contrast mode on the
windows system. If one used vo-T to query informatio
Yes, in my experience, the “speech off” message means VoiceOver is muted and
you have to unmute it with one of the commands described in this thread. I do
this with M-chord from a braille display.

In case this helps anyone else, I’ve found out how to enable Touch ID with the
sudo command on Mac OS. When enabled, running sudo opens a dialogue prompting
you to use Touch ID or to activate a button to prompt for your password.

Thanks, Jonathan. I do have an Orbit Reader available, though I don't
recall whether I ever associated it with my Mac Air. Nevertheless, this
gives me a path forward, even if I need to arrange for sighted
assistance. Right now the Orbit is charging, indicating how little I use
it I'm sorry to say.
Plug it in, and VO will connect to it automatically.

Hello Donna and All,
Okay, first I understand that your solution to your original questions, Donna,
was to enable Siri on your watch.
However, I have another question because something doesn't seem right to me.
First, on my beloved 8 Plus, I have two languages in the VO rotor, US English,
