Prior to going to the site, I will check out the suggestions given to me here to see if they work before I allow Alex to be disrespectful again. I'm truly surprised there is not a native keystroke to mmute voiceover as there is a trackpad gesture. I feel an email going to Apple accessibility. Let's hope it doesn't take them six updates to get it done.

To do this: * Open the VoiceOver Utility and choose Commanders from the Categories table. * Select the Keyboard Commander tab, be sure the commander is on by checking the checkbox, and move past the table to the Add button. Activate that button. * You will be placed on a text field, even if VoiceOver doesn't tell you so. Press the key to be used (such as M), then vo-right to the menu button. * In that menu is a list of commands, sorted into categories. I believe the item you want, Mute VoiceOver, is in the Sounds submenu. Once you find it, hit enter. * Hit option-m to make sure things worked (it's a toggle, so hitting it again will bring VO back). If it worked, you can close the Utility. If not, let the list know and we'll try to figure out what happened.

If I remember correctly, with track pad commander on, you could double tap with three fingers on the trackpad to mute Voiceover just like double tapping with three fingers to mute it on an iPhone. If I'm wrong about this, someone correct me.

In so doing Alex continually seemed to want to give me every notification I would never have gotten had I been doing something I could've gotten away from or been able to repeat. Normally I don't mind. However in cases like this, is there a keystroke to mute voiceover until such a service or meeting is over? I hit the control key to shut him up, however he has since earned the name disrespectful Alex.
