I'm thinking of frankly asking some of the senior Apple accessibility people I know through our joint work in W3C. I'm inclined to wait for the right moment though. Thanks for the plist pointers. Best, Janina Jonathan Cohn writes: > Well, I tried and here were my results. > I expect it is in

Well, I tried and here were my results. I expect it is in one of the plist files under VoiceOVer4, but I was not able to find it. ls ~/Library/preferences/com.apple.VoiceOver4 will provide a bunch of plists for VoiceOver I had found that: defaults read com.apple.VoiceOver4/default

It took awhile for me to get this done because it turned out I needed to replace the rechargable battery in my Orbit Reader. That replacement battery arrived today, got inserted into the Orbit, connected to the Macbook, and this Voice Over user is back in business thanks to Cord-M over USB. Many

Thanks, Jonathan. I do have an Orbit Reader available, though I don't recall whether I ever associated it with my Mac Air. Nevertheless, this gives me a path forward, even if I need to arrange for sighted assistance. Right now the Orbit is charging, indicating how little I use it I'm sorry to say.

Thanks, Ali. It's definitely not a sound muting problem, as VO+F5 gives me speech for Voiceover Off, then a second time Voiceover On, speech off. Herbie Allen writes: > I would check sound settings and make sure you haven’t muted your soundcard. > > > On Jan 15, 2022, at 20:55, 'Janina Sajka'

I'm getting no response from a three-finger double tap on the trackpad. So, I'm unsure how I turned speech off in the first instance. Is there any way to control this in the terminal? Best, Janina -- Janina Sajka (she/her/hers) https://linkedin.com/in/jsajka Linux Foundation Fellow
