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.

Re: M1 Mac mini just beeps

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.

This alert can be disabled as follows:

2.  Select Verbosity, from the Categories table, or just press CMD + NumRow 2.
3.  Select the Announcements tab, and then navigate to the item labeled, "Play

RE: M1 Mac mini just beeps

[matthew dyer]

Hi,  Perhaps this is different, but I have never had to connect a mouse to go 
through the first setup.  I have always just pressed enter on the keyboard to 
get get things going.  Maybe this is different on the m1 machines.  I can not 
test as I have no m1 here to test with.

Can you attach a mouse and a display temporarily, just to set it up?
If you don’t have any, perhaps you know someone who could allow you to use 
theirs just for an hour or so.

Re: M1 Mac mini just beeps

[Dave Carlson]

Brad,
Wow. You must have heard me griping about that annoying beep. Thanks for the 
tip.

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.  Select Verbosity, from the Categories table, or just press CMD + NumRow 2.
3.  Select the Announcements tab, and then navigate to the item labeled, "Play 
Tone When system dialogs are displayed”.
4.  Open the Pop-Up button, and select Do Nothing, if you wish to eliminate the 
audible alert.

HTH.

Re: M1 Mac mini just beeps

[Brad Snyder]

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 everything in 
the ribbon through the menu bar.

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

What do you do with the mouse or trackpad once you have it connected does 
voiceover then turn on normally with the key combination cmdf5.

 Don’t think you hold the control key while pressing the power button

Re: M1 Mac mini just beeps

[Brad Snyder]

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.  Select Verbosity, from the Categories table, or just press CMD + NumRow 2.
3.  Select the Announcements tab, and then navigate to the item labeled, "Play 
Tone When system dialogs are displayed”.
4.  Open the Pop-Up button, and select Do Nothing, if you wish to eliminate the 
audible alert.

HTH.

Re: M1 Mac mini just beeps

[Brad Snyder]

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 
process on one of these new Macs.
Not sure if this is a hardware requirement of the M1 Macs, or if this is a 
requirement of the current OS.  Either way, in my experience, you cannot 
proceed with the setup process until you meet this requirement.

Additionally, when using a Magic bluetooth Keyboard with one of these new M1 
Macs, you will need to use CMD + F5 to turn VoiceOver on/off.  You cannot use 
the Touch ID sensor as on a TouchBar MacBook Pro.
It just doesn’t work.

Performing a 3-finger double tap gesture on a trackpad, only mutes VoiceOver 
speech.  This does not toggle VoiceOver on/off.  You must use CMD + F5 for this.

Re: M1 Mac mini just beeps

[Dave Carlson]

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.
