Stupid question, and I know Scott, E.T, etc. are probably gonna attack me
for this, so go ahead and do so. I won't see your mails anyway, so who
cares. Anyway, I probably should a read this thread more in depth, but are
you rememberring after creating the activity to then attach it to the
application? In the activities category of the VO Utility, after all is set,
it'll say, use activity for, and you have to actually pick the .app file of
the application, like, mail.app, to attach that particular activity to.
Otherwise, the activity won't do anything. It'll just kind a be there
attached to null.

Subject: Re: Activities
You are welcome and this must be frustrating. I will have to try this on my
girlfriend's early 2015 13 inch Macbook Pro when she receives it in time for
Christmas and try to get back to you.

Hi Chris, Thanks so much. Yup those are the same exact steps I have been
doing but activities still do not work for me. Even tried switching my
mail to Daniel to see if it was an issue with Samantha but did not work as
Alex is still being used when I go to mail. So strange considering this is
a brand new iMac. Thanks again for writing out the steps you are using.
Appreciate it.

1. Open VoiceOver Utility and navigate to activities.
2. Click add.
3. If you can't see the option you are looking for, expand the disclosure
triangle. Click the checkbox next to the option you wish to change, then
click set next to that, such as voices.
4. Set the appropriate options, then click close.
5. In the "use this activity for" menu button, choose either a running
application, website or other if you can't see the application. This may
be what you were missing. I left that as is, the activity didn't work. So
went back in, set it to Mail, and the activity worked as expected.
Hope this helps.

You did what I exactly did, except I used Daniel instead of Samantha,
shouldn't make a difference though, but it worked like a charm.

Hey all,
Can someone you claims activities on Sierra works for them please
write out the steps they are using to successfully have an activity
set for a program. Would love to see if there is something I am
missing as Apple cannot seem to figure it out and they still do not
work for me. I just deleted all my activities and started new. Created
an activity for mail which used the Samantha voice and turned QuickNav
off and it still does not work. When I pull mail up using my keyboard
shortcut Alex is still reading my mail and QuickNav is still turned
on. Thanks,
