Re: [Audyssey] Enabling Voice Over
No. He needs to press fn, command f5. The MacBooks are set to automaticly hold down the fn key while pressing the command key as default. This makes it easyer to ajust some hardware settings like display brightness and the sound volume. So fn, command and f5 will enable Voiceover. If you just press command f5, you'll just turn up the volume. This confused me then I tried a Mac computer in a shop.

Re: [Audyssey] Enabling Voice Over
Hi Robin. You must press fn, command and f5 to start Voiceover. When you are finnish useing it, remember to press fn, command f5 again to turn it off. If you don't do that, Voiceover will begin speaking again when the computer is rebooted. Good luck.

Re: [Audyssey] Enabling Voice Over
Hi Robin, This is really off topic for the list, but in any case I'll answer your question. Use command f5. That will launch the VoiceOver service.

Re: [Audyssey] Enabling Voice Over
Hey all, Thanks for all the replies! Sorry for posting an off-topic message here, but I had to know that really quickly. I just returned from the store and am quite impressed by how well it works. The only problem now is that Voice Over is only available in English and not in German. And since the English version of MAC OS is not included on the German Apple DVD, I guess what I'll do is order the MAC Book in America so I have the English os. This won't be a problem for me, the only thing I'll have to think about will be how to read German E-mail and websites with an English synthesicer. But well, everyone was quite impressed how easy it was for me to use the MAC Book after pressing 3 keys. Oh and btw, forgot to turn it off, lol. Thanks for your help!
