Brad,
True, but I was focused on his phrase:
"Ocasionally speech becomes muted by hitting the wrong keyboard keys and I have
to seek sighted help to get VO working again.“
I’m not sure what keystroke might turn off speech accidentally, other than
killing the system volume with that f10 key. Other than Cmd+F5 can you think of
another key that would turn off speech itself?

But that’s not what he was wanting to do.
He was asking how to mute VO speech, not mute system volume.
There is a difference.

Paul,
As alluded in a couple replies, just put a marker dot on the F10 key. That is
the mute/unmute toggle for system volume.

I am running the latest Ventura on my 1997 iMac. I cannot see the screen and so
am totally reliant on VoiceOver.
Can I set up a keyboard shortcut to toggle speech on and off, like the 3 finger
double tap on IOS?

I recall setting up such a keyboard shortcut in the past but I seem to have
deleted it.
Many thanks … Paul Hopewell
