the fault is to do with the speech server. If you have as an example, settings enabled to announce background app messages, etc, the speech server trips your reading text. this can sometimes hang. the only way to handle it as you say is to quit and restart voiceover.
this is a problem which spans back from the early days of voiceover. speech manager servers for screen readers like jaws, window eyes and voiceover in particular are known to have hickups. to be expected. lew Free Macs For The Blind On 28 Nov 2011, at 13:50, Eugenia Firth wrote: > Hi Guys. > This happens to me occasionally in TextEdit, and I hadn't noticed it until > the last update.
