Hi Eleanor, Well, there are a lot of experts on this list, who will be able to provide you with lots of information. I will answer one question. To start voiceover when you turn on your Mac, hold down your command, key and type F5. The command key should be The first key to the left or right of your spacebar. That will at least get voiceover up and talking. Have fun with your new Mac. I’m sure you will enjoy it. It’s a very fast machine and works very well. Sent from my iPhone
