Are you running a two-screen setup? In other words, you have your
presentor notes on your laptop screen and your regular slide are runnon
on some external projector? If you have just one screen then it will
only show your slide content.

Hi Philippa, Chris, and Others,
I think the recommendation for presentations with Keynote is to export the presentation as a PDF file using the "Export…" option that can
be selected from either the "File" menu or the "Share" menu on the Keynote menu bar, choose an output format of PDF, and then
display the PDF output using the free app named "Skim". Skim has been described as "Preview on steroids". It is similar to
Preview, but has additional features. One of these features is a "Presentation mode" for displaying presentation slides in PDF format
created by applications such as PowerPoint, Keynote, Open Office, or TeX slide packages such as Beamer. To enter presentation mode, use the shortcut
Command-Option-P, or else go to the "View" menu to select this. You can also set up your transition options with Command-Control-T.
Note that presentation mode correctly displays your slides, which the full-screen mode of
Preview and Skim does not. And you can read all content with VoiceOver using the PDF
version of your presentation this way. This subject was recently discussed on the
Mac-access list, and you can read the posted discussions for the thread, "accessing
power point presentation on the mac" at the Mail Archive web site for that list.
I'll point you to one of
the relevant posts:

Read down the thread using Control-N to access the next post. If you want to
read up the thread use Control-P to access the previous post.
Skim is a Sourceforge project, but to find it, and most other Mac programs, do a Google
search for this software at the MacUpdate site by using Command-Option-F to move to the
Google search bar in Safari, then type "skim macupdate" and press return. The
MacUpdate site provides standard format listings of software that includes a short
description, basic information on the latest version and its release date, information on
whether this is a paid or free app, and direct links to download the program and to visit
the developer's site. You can also read comments about the app, and suggestions for
alternatives. The MacUpdate page link for Skim
is:http://www.macupdate.com/app/mac/24590/skim
HTH. Cheers,
Esther

I found navigation while presenting to be buggy, at least with the usual 'dual
screen' setup. I did find that after starting the presentation
(command-option-p) that if I command-tab away from keynote and then command-tab
back again VO focus seems to clear up and I can then navigate all the buttons
and find the presenter's notes. Before that it was just weird and I couldn't
find much of anything. Hope this works for you.
