It's not clear to me how to slow down voiceover according to your
instructions. This is my first mac. How do I go to utilities, system
preferences, accessibility, etc.?

Hi,
So first go to the voice over utility which can be reached from system
preferences, accessibility, voice over if you have problems using the F
keys. Once in there select voices and there is a global rate field that
uses a 2 digit number. A rate of 45 or so is about average, the lower the
number the slower the spoken words.
As far as your question about the different versions of the operating
system, you will find things like mavericks or yosemite. These are names
for the different versions of the OS where Yosemite is the latest available.
In general, the commands are the same from version to version with some
small additions. For where you are any of these should help when dealing
with the basics.
Hope that helped.

Hello,
I have some question, please:
1. I find voice over speaks too fast for me. How do I slow it down?
2. When I look for info about macbook air, I find files about Lion, snow leper, mountain lion, mavericks, etc. I'm confused. Does it mean that the VO commands are different for each one?
3. I tried to start the tutorial by pressing VO-Command-F8, but nothing happened.
Thank you for any help,
Rena
