Hello everyone just wanted to update you all. My new Mac Mini is fully working
and operational. Having a pointing device during set up connected did the
trick. Thank you so much for all your help.

You definitely need a display and mouse for the initial set up process that’s
what I have heard here and from doing research for these couple days I hope I
can use my new Mac soon.

Brad,
I didn't realize I had replied to this thread. Yes I agree, I find
the meny on the Mac version of Word just fine. I hope to spend some time
working on this and seeing what works for me. Ultimately I will
translate some documents to braille. Using styles will make this easier.

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

On windows, the ribbon is very accessible. There are keyboard shortcuts, called
Key Tips, that are very accessible. These Key Tips do not exist on a Mac, and
I find the ribbon to be worthless when using MS office on a Mac.
Thank God the menu bar is always there on a Mac. You can access
When the ribbon first came to Word, I never took to it thus my use

Once a pointing device is connected, VoiceOver may start on its own. If it
does not, you can use CMD + F5.

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.
When setting up a new Mac mini, iMac, or Mac Studio, you MUST connect either a
mouse or Magic trackPad to get past the initial setup process.
Even if you do not need one of these peripherals because you are a blind
VoiceOver user, you still must connect a pointing device to get past the setup
Your best bet is to use the apple disability support number given you.

Sorry, I meant the touch pad, not the Touch Bar. That’s where you need to
three-finger triple tap.

My mac does not have a Touch Bar its a M1 Mac mini. I may need to acquire
another monitor maybe that will fix it so voiceover can finally come back on

It does? Just tried this on an M1 MacBook Pro and it didn't work for me. Doing
that on the trackpad works though.

Don’t think you hold the control key while pressing the power button three
time. Try without the control key. Also, are you using the built-in keyboard,
or a Bluetooth or USB connected keyboard? If so, you may need to press a
different key to emulate control.

Engineer, Farfar,
I have tried holding the command key and pressing the Touch ID button 3 times
but with no result. This is very frustrating as I was hoping to use my new Mac
mini today.

Have you tried holding down the Command key and pressing the Touch ID sensor
three times? Here is the number for Apple’s help for people who have
disabilities. This is a free service. 877 204-3930.
Hope this helps.

it will probably be most effective to use something like AIRA or be my eyes, if
not a sighted person, to tell you what’s going on by viewing the screen. Wish I
could come up with an answer but I hope you can find one yourself soon.

Hi Violet,
Is this your first Mac? When you turn your Mac on, Do you get a message to
activate VoiceOver.? If not, type Command-F5. Let me know what happens.
