Hi Kelsey. Good call. I did precisely that and speech immediately restored; I don't really know why they include that status cell option anyway. Thanks for your help.

Even when not using refreshable Braille, having the status cell on completely crashes voice-over. The only way to fix this is to get a sighted person to turn the status cell off.

Whilst Voiceover is active, there is no voice. I've tried turning on/off Voiceover, no success. Any suggestions/help would be very much appreciated. Thanks and regards, Mike
