I have found that usually typing in my password, with no audible feedback and pressing enter will log me back into my MBA and Voiceover will be back up and running immediately. But I bet the Command + 4 or 5 key presses may work for you too. Definitely try typing in your password blindly

I do know there is a bug that I told apple about. If you accidentally hit both the up and down volume buttons together voiceover gets killed. It even kills triple click of home. That might be what is going on. On Dec 15, 2013, at 5:37 PM, Zachary Kline zkl...@speedpost.net wrote: Chris, I
