The only way to do it with the keyboard is to go to the VO utility and check
the box under sound. However, the Trackpad method with the three finger double
tap is much more efficient for a number of reasons, mainly it’s easy to
duplicate to unmute where as the keyboard method, unless you have an
On my MBA, pressing F10 mutes sound. It mutes all sound, so if you’re trying
to mute speech in order to hear something else, that isn’t a good solution.
But if you are good with muting all sound, it’s quick and easy.

Hi,
Do you know pressing the control key pauses speech?
But if you want to have a hot key to mute speech, it can be done.
I have been doing it for years.
I am surprised that no-body has mentioned adding a commander.
I use option plus the tiller or AKA the grove key located under the escape key.

Tapping control only works for me some of the time. I frequently have to tap
it more than once. It’s still handy, just not 100% reliable.

To setup a commander to toggle the mute speech for VoiceOver, first open
voiceover utility with vo f 8 that is control option f 8. Next press command
8 to jump to commanders.
Next vo right arrow to the keyboard tab and then pre

The control key does exactly what is is supposed to do. It "pauses"
what Voiceover is speaking at the moment. It will not pause what VO
speaks next.

In my experience it does not always pause what VO is speaking in the moment.

Using the control key has always worked for me. Many times when I am
carrying out a task, I do not always need to hear what VO is saying.
Muting speech at such times is not an option whereas pausing speech is.

Thanks much! do I have to do something else prior to pressing F10? The reason I
am asking this is that when I press F10, it gives me an error blip sound.
Thanks again.

This is not the same as muting VoiceOver speech.

It's never worked for me either. Even if I dump VoiceOver, it isn't
ending the call here. Good thing I don't like to hang up on people I

Lol. Well, glad I’m not the only one. I just prefer it as a way to end calls,
because when I two-finger double-tap, my phone starts playing music, which
isn’t always appropriate if I’m in a quiet or professional environment.

Hi E.T. I have recently used iOS 16.1 and the 16.2 beta with a Focus

settings? I'm not sure if iOS 16 back-ups work under 16.1, but if they
are, why not give it a try? Please let us know how it goes.

If you put your VoiceOver focus on the Launchpad item in the Dock, and then
open the Shortcut menu, you will get an alphabetical list of all applications
on your Mac. You can then select an application from the list, and use either
VO + Spacebar, or press Enter, to launch the app.
