I I am not sure if my message got through yesterday. However I have had exactly the same issue on my iMac with installing Sierra.
I have installed loads of OS versions before without issue before coming up against this accessibility barrier. Voiceover only comes to life after the Sierra installer has completed. Sighted help was telling me that every time I pressed command F5 Voiceover on would appear as text on screen but no sound would emerge. This has nothing to do with muting or volume levels as everything suddenly reverts to normal Voiceover feedback as soon as the installer finishes. I contacted Appole Accessibility about this but they pretty much dismissed my concerns by claiming that I was the only person who had ever reported this as an issue. So if others are experiencing the same issue on their iMacs then I would urge you to report it to Appole Accessibility and perhaps they will take it seriously and investigate.

Everything worked as expected on my friends MBP and I did the clean install for him, Voiceover talked me through the entire process as expected. However this morning when I wanted to do my iMac, Voiceover simply didn’t want to start during the installation process no matter what I tried. For reference I then inserted the USB drive with the installer in to my Macbook Pro and booted in to it and Voiceover started just fine, but nothing happens on my iMac. Anyone had this happen to them before, any ideas or solutions? My iMac is a late 2013 model running Sierra, my friends MBP which Voiceover worked on during installation is a mid 2012 and my MBP is a mid 2015 Retina. -- The following information is important for all members of the Mac Visionaries list.
