Hi Marcia, If you turned speech off rather than VoiceOver (i.e., you can't use Command+F5 to toggle VoiceOver back on), then you may either have turned the speech volume way down, or muted your audio by pressing the F10 key. (It might be Fn+F10, depending on how you have set up your keyboard preferences). If the volume is all the way down, you can get control of your pitch, intonation, rate, and volume with VO-Command+arrow keys, where you cycle through the option settings with Control+Option+Command+Right or Left arrow, and adjust the values with VO-Command-Up or Down arrow. It you muted all you audio by mistake, pressing either the F12 key (or Fn+F12, depending on your setup), will take the volume back up.
