theirs just for an hour or so.

Voice control is fairly powerful, but it does expect that you know what is on
screen to press. With shortcuts in the MacOS, you can extend what Siri can do.
I keep hearing that shortcuts on the Mac has improved significantly this year,
but the only thing I have done was to create a shortcut
Hi Donna,
Are you using a mic on your headphones, or something built into your mac?
Glad to know it is doable, if you think about it though, that is what you
are told when someone gives you computer instructions.
If you click on this application etc.
cheers back,

Hi Donna,
While I cannot speak to your personal setup, I am told, both in
documentation, and by apple staff that one can use voiceover commands via
the voice control method.
it is my own goal, using voice control for some tasks, and voiceover for
others. I have no desire to use Siri for

Rather tired of being asked by paypal Canada if I have a friend ho can
run my computer for me.
Because of course a blind person cannot be living on their own.
Thanks,

Well, I hope you’re right.
If you have voice control enabled in system preps, it’s on until you turn it
off. I have not found a way to turn it back on once you turn it off, though. So
go into system props, accessibility, voice control, check the checkbox to
enable it, and you should be good to
Hi!
Siri seems to be quite limited in my experience.
Regarding VoiceControl I haven’t tried it as its not yet translated to Swedish.

I believe you can configure the triple tap of the finger print sensor to
toggle voice command.
I also just checked and there is a action in shortcuts to turn on/off voice
control.
One can also add additional vocabulary to Voice Control, when my wife was
having wrist trouble, I helped her set
Hi Karen,
It is very doable. I’ve been doing it all afternoon. It takes some getting used
to, because the way you speak commands Hass to echo the actions that you would
take using a mouse or a keyboard. So for example, if you’re in the mail app,
instead of saying something natural like new

Works fine. Re the command structure, what you say is true. But I really have

Hi all,
I’ve always been kind of intrigued by the possibility of doing this, so I
wondered if anyone else is using voice commands to control their Mac. If yes,
are you using voice control, or are you using Siri? What are people’s thoughts
about the two options? Right now, Siri on the Mac

Do you have a mouse attached? I believe you need one for first boot, you might
also need a display.

Hi folks,
I think a list created in Word will do for me. Here is an example text.

Can I make this a bulleted list and indent the keyboard command? The
asterisk simulates a bullet in the example. Can a style be created to

I never use the ribbon when using MS Word on the Mac. You cannot use keyboard
shortcuts/accelerator keys, and it's very laborious to access the ribbon using
VoiceOver. Much prefer accessing features through the menu bar when using Word
on the Mac.
Using word on a Mac is definitely different
Another source of persistent “beeping” on Macs running the Big Sur or Monterrey
operating systems, is an alert that lets VoiceOver users know that there is a
notification or system dialog present on the screen.
This alert can be disabled as follows:
1. Open VoiceOver Utility using VO + F8.
2.
Once a pointing device is connected, VoiceOver may start on its own. If it
does not, you can use CMD + F5.
