For what it’s worth, I experience this occasionally as well. It always occurs after I wake the computer from sleep, and I find that VoiceOver is running, but muted. I am not sure what causes this problem but it is especially difficult to work around. To help, I’ve assigned the “mute VoiceOver”

You can't use the insert key as a screen reader modifier, only control/option and caps lock. You can assign tons of commands to the num pad keys, but even with that option open to me on my wired keyboard here, I never really use it. I simply find it easier to have my commands on the main

Hi, For the three-finger double-tap, you may need to make sure that the Trackpad Commander is on. Hold down the VO keys, then do a two-finger twist to the right, sort of like turning up a volume knob. After ensuring that the Trackpad Commander is on, try the three-finger double-tap, then

Re: any thoughts on Mac OS Sierra?

Hi, as has been said it is difficult to learn a new operating system. I was well into my Sixties when I switched to a Mac. I made the decision to not use Windows whilst changing to the Mac. By doing this I only had to concentrate on the Mac only. Although it was difficult for a time, thanks to

Re: A Comment on the Mac OS Sierra Native Messaging App

I have to say I like the way facetime is being wrapped in to the phone networks so you have PSTN access as well as the video calling and direct audio calling. Facetime and imessage are a set of aplications that I think Apple is doing interesting things with. Much cleaner and easier to use

If I Get A Track Pad, Do I need A Mouse?

I am going through the options for my new Mac Mini that I now know I am going to get. Do I need a mouse, too, if I get a track pad? I don't need it, and I would think that if I ever need sighted help, they could use the track pad as they would use the touch screen on my iPhone. Thanks for

How Often Would I Need A Numb Pad

Not yet knowing a lot about using VoiceOver on a mac, do I need a keyboard with a numb pad very often? I know it surely can be used without a numb pad, but, as with Jaws, is it easier to use with one? The option of buying the wireless magic keyboard appeals to me, but I don't know how often

Well Saqib, I along with others offer one on one training for people that would like to learn the Mac. I can do it through Skype or FaceTime and if you can't pay for my services, that's ok. I currently train a person in her mid 40s and she has learned pretty much everything under my tutelage.

Re: any thoughts on Mac OS Sierra?

This is not surprising. I think we tend to forget how any learning can be as a challenge to us at times. As we get older, there is this psychological belief that our wisdom and experience should imply that we learn things faster. Remember what learning Windows was like back in the day? That
