Hi Alex, I find the FileVault speech volume is usually the same as my system volume, so if it is set low when I reboot the Mac, then the speech feedback I hear sounds quiet.
Thanks, Grant On Oct 1, 2017, at 3:46 PM, Alex Hall <[email protected]<mailto:[email protected]>> wrote: Just for the record, toggling VO on Touch Bar Macs does work. File Vault makes me sign in, and I can turn VO on in the usual way if it isn't on already. It's very slow and loud, but I imagine that's not specific to this model of Mac. -- Alex Hall On Oct 1, 2017, at 17:01, Grant Hardy <[email protected]<mailto:[email protected]>> wrote: I’ve used FileVault ever since getting my First MacBook in 2014 and can’t say that I’ve ever had any major issues with it. The accessibility from a VoiceOver perspective has been steadily improving with every release, too. In Mavericks, you’d hear a series of beeps to indicate where you were in the login process. Yosemite added actual speech feedback on supported machines. Now, I don’t even have to press Cmd-F5 to turn VoiceOver on. The preference is saved. For me, I can’t imagine not having FileVault on. It’s transparent, and I know if I ever lost my computer my data would be safer. That said, I am not sure how this works on newer Macs lacking function keys. I know you can hold down Cmd and triple-tap the power button to toggle VoiceOver, but I don’t remember if this works in the FileVault login window.

I have tested File Vault on my Mac Mini as I set it up once I installed everything. Just in case you haven't done so Donna, go in to system preferences users and accounts and find log in options where you can make sure voice over is turned on at the log in screen. Also set your name and password option rather than a list of users if you are the only person using your machine. I am not at all technical but remembered what I needed to do from the last time I set up File Vault. Kawal. -- The following information is important for all members of the Mac Visionaries list.
