Simply add the shift key. Apple made the old verbosity rotor keystrokes into a quick-access navigation rotor, and moved the verbosity settings to the old keystrokes with the shift key added on. Thus, you want vo-shift-cmd-arrows, not just vo-cmd-arrows. -- Alex Hall > On Sep 12, 2018, at

Voiceover Rotor to adjust speed and language

Hi Anders, You may know this already, but there's a toggle to activate screen reader accessibility. I access it by VO-arrowing to the left from the document. Make sure you have that enabled. HTH, Donna > On Sep 12, 2018, at 9:48 AM, Anders Holmberg wrote: > > Hi! > I am taking a distance
