Re: Problem starting VoiceOver

Hello Paul, As far as I know, the only way to launch VoiceOver is with Cmd-F5. However, sometimes VoiceOver gets muted so it’s a good idea to create a shortcut in one of the commanders for the commands “Mute Speech Toggle” and “Mute VoiceOver Toggle”. These commands are in the Audio menu of
