Hey Kelvin,
Oh, that's the way it works for me too. If I press CTRL to pause speech, and
then press it again to begin speech, VO will continue reading from exactly
where it stopped.
The issue I am having is if I am reading an email, and press CTRL to stop
reading, so that I can check the spelling of a word, or, just to read word by
word at some point, the cursor will not be at the point where the reading
stopped, but instead it will be at the top of the message, so I must arrow down
to get to the point where I wished to examine the text more closely.
Thanks,
Russell

Hi everyone,
I'm running macOS Monterey on my iMac 2017. When reading email messages in
the Mail app, the VO cursor does not follow the keyboard focus, even though
it's set to do that in the VO Utilities, Navigation settings. So, what
happens is, if I open an email message and press VO + A to begin reading the
email, and, then, I press the CTRL key to pause VO reading so that I can
more closely read the email, the VO cursor will still be at the beginning of
the email, even though I've read half of the email message. So, the only way
I can get to the point where VO left off reading is to press the down arrow
key until I get to that point, which, if the email message is a long one,
can be very tedious. I hope I'm explaining this in a way that makes sense.
What I'd like to happen is, when I press VO + A to start reading an email
message, and then I press the CTRL key to stop the reading, I'd like the VO
cursor to be at the point where I stop reading, and not still at the
beginning of the message.
Is there a setting I am missing?
Additional note: I just noticed, while composing this email message, that
the VO cursor does, indeed, follow the keyboard focus, so the problem only
exists when reading an existing email message, and not when composing a new
message.
Thanks for any suggestions,
Russell
