hey. if you have a macbook, you have to use the fn key along with the
commandf5 key. I had that problem when I first got mine, too! I
couldn't figure out how to turn it on and off. try fn/command/f5. fn
is the last one on the left hand side on the same row as the space bar.

Hi,
I'm just learning how to get up and running with my macbook. I've
started reading the getting started with Voice Over manual and
during the chapter on using the keyboard somehow I seem to have
turned Voice Over off kind of.
Alex does speak the time on the quarter hour which I previously set
in sys prefs and if I hold in the button normally used to turn my
Macbook on I get asked do I want to really turn my Macbook off but I
can't navigate anywhere with speech to give my option.
If I hit command f5 I hear a kind of wap sound as when you turn up
or down the volume so I'm wondering does anyone have any ideas how I
can restore speech bearing in mind I don't know any Mac users in the
u.k and have no sighted help available?
Kind regards
Graham
