Sure, no problem. Happy to help out. :-) I’m using  an older Mac and will 
probably get a new one soon next year with the latest OS version. I’m still 
running El Capitan.

Rebecca,

 

You should be able to check battery status in the Menu Extras area.  On my 
MacBook Pro, a battery item was there by default.

When using macOS Catalina, and earlier versions of macOS, you can set a 
VoiceOver Hotspot that you can use to read the battery status with a VoiceOver 
keyboard command by doing the following:

1.  Go to the Menu Extras area, and put VoiceOver focus on the Battery level 
item.

2.  Now, Use VO + Shift, and a number on the NumberRow, to set a VoiceOver 
Hotspot.

3. Once set, you can press VO + the NumberRow key you selected to read the 
battery status.

 

>From my experience, this does not work when running macOS Big Sur.

 

HTH.

I took the Month with the Mac course and the VoiceOver tutorial, but I forgot

Hi.

There is no braille file that I know of in brf format  that has a list of 
voiceover shortcut keys.  However, I think the best way to learn voiceover is 
to use the interactive QuickStart tutorial that comes with your Mac. you can 
get to the tutorial by holding down control option command and pressing F8. if 
you’re using a laptop, the function key is the furthest key on the bottom row 
on the left side next to the control key. The Quickstart tutorial will 
definitely help you learn voiceover quickly and will give you a good start with 
learning how to use your new Mac. To get to the dock, you hold down The 
voiceover keys control an option then press D. To check battery status, you can 
go to the status menu by holding down the voice over keys and pressing M twice 
until you hear status menus. Then go down with VO down arrow until you find 
battery. Then it will say how much battery has been used or if your battery is 
fully charged.

Hope this is helpful. :-)

Katie

To go to the doc, use VO-d.  A long time ago, someone created a script to check 
battery status.  That is what I use.  I'll look around to see if I still have 
the original file.
