Hello, Have you logged this with Apple Accessibility/ Maybe they can assist. If not, it might be good for them to know about the issue, so they can investigate it.

Voiceover frequently shutting off
I am running the latest Sonoma on a MacBook Pro M3. Lately, I find voiceover needing to be rebooted because it stops speaking. I don’t know if it has been shut off or somehow muted itself but I can get no speech from any action. So, the solution has been to reboot voiceover with the command F5. I first hit command F5 to shut it off, and then command five again and voice comes back up speaking. i’m worrying about the time when it won’t come back up speaking. This is an oddity I don’t understand. Why is voice needing to be rebooted on a regular basis? By the way, this usually happens after a long period of inactivity on the laptops. Like for example first thing in the morning after a nights inactivity, or even after several hours during the day of not being used. -- The following information is important for all members of the Mac Visionaries list.
