Aa, yes! I was confused. I thought what he meant was once he actually got
logged on to the system, it wasn't coming up. Now I see what he's asking.
My bad. So yes. you're correct. Go under system prefs to users. In here,
interact with the table and below all the users, you should see an option
that says something to the effect of login options, I think. Under here,
there is a checkbox to get voiceover to speak at the logon screen. Keep in
mind though, that once logged in, if voiceover wasn't running the last time
you logged out of the account, then though it's running at the logon screen,
once you log into an account which previously had VO shut off, when you log
in again, it'll still be off until you do your command+F5. The way around
this is to be sure that VO is running when you log out.

I don't have Mavericks but I believe that there is now an option in system
preferences to start Voiceover at the Login screen if there is a guest
account also enabled. You need to apparently have this checked in order to
have Voiceover running at any login screen.
I cannot give precise instructions as I am not on Mavericks as My iMac
keeps
on getting an unexpected quit of program every time I try to run the
install.
I am not quite confident enough to go for the clean install given these
problems.

Subject: Voiceover Not Starting Automatically on My Sister's MBA
Hi everybody. I spent the night at my parents' house in part to help a
sister out with her Mac Book Air. Last night I updated her Mac to Os
10.9.1,
which seems to have gone smoothly. However, Voiceover will not start
automatically for her. I tried going into System Preferences and changing
some of the Accessibility settings, but still no dice. Command-F5 works
like
it should though. Is there something else we should be looking for? She
has
an 11-inch model. I'm assuming everything worked all right when the guy at
our local Apple store turned on Vo. Mine doesn't seem to have this
problem.
