Yes, didn't know about the command semicolon command. It ends up that is a keyboard shortcut and not a specific voiceover command. I think command semicolon will just go to the next mispelled word while command shift semicolon seems to bring up a list of suggested words and the learn spelling and etc menu commands.
As far as the Apple Accessibility phone number, I think it is great that Apple has this, but the execution is awful. The people operating it are not voiceover experts or even very knowledgable about voiceover. I have been on a call with them and it took us 20 minutes to figure out why they weren't getting the same options as me, only to realize the person at Apple Accessibility wasn't using voiceover and didn't even know how to turn it on. I have had at least 3 conversations with them where I have had to say to them are you using voiceover, only to have them tell me no. I know it is not a purely dedicated voiceover hotline, but come on at least make sure the people working there have a basic understanding of voiceover and know how to turn it on.
