I am glad you did not have to go the reset all settings route to fix it. The problem Ihad several years ago when I went that route, with the resulting situation described earlier, was that Apple Braille Screen input got seriously jumbled up, none of the dots were remotely where they were supposed to be, making it completely unuseable. I now know how to fix it if it gets that way again, leaving resetting all settings as the last resort. I don't remember ever having seen that folder you mentioned, I am going to look for it now. Thanks for letting us know the resolution to your problem.

I'm wondering if this is something I did on the rotor. I had the Activities on the rotor and maybe that's what I did, was accidentally swipe up or down on the Activities item while turning the rotor.

That whole section is there so you can set up different configurations for different apps or situations. So, if you wanted a different voice for a particular app, I think you can do that in there. I only looked at it briefly when it first arrived, so hopefully you will get more details from Apple next week. I’m glad you got it resolved now.

When I opened this and opened the, Programs, option I noticed that I could chage the voiceover speech rate setting here, but nowhere else. There is also an item called, Activity 1, in here as well, but I don't recall ever purposely setting either the Programs or Activity 1, options up. Maybe this was done automatically somehow, or I set these 2 items up without knowing I did it. Anyways I deleted both the, Programs and Activity 1, items from the Activities folder and now my voiceover speech rate is again working in both voiceover settings and from the Speech Rate option on the rotor. I'll learn more about the Activities folder when I talk to Apple Accessibility next week. Stay safe & take care. Mike.
