Try using command K. And if you're using sticky keys you need to heat control
three times.

I must have messed up a setting because I keep hitting control and it does
not silence speech. When pressing k to stop videos VO talks and when
pressing k to start playback, VO continues to talk.
Is there a short cut like VO, command arrow right / left to move across VO
settings and then make adjustments on the fly? It seems like I use to change
voices, playback rate, key announce, and tweak other settings like this with
a handy shortcut.
Thanks,
Keith

Yes it's supposed to.

Control will silence Voiceover speech. With YouTube, I think the k key acts

Thanks for those commands. They worked nicely.
Should I be able to use the control key to stop VO from talking? When
watching YouTube, I will rewind and I'd like to stop it from talking
quickly.

Keith, I can tell you that command option L. will get you into the
downloads folder. Control shift down arrow wall get you to interact with
the downloads folder. And commando will open in the application that you
are wanting to open or any document that you have downloaded and want to
open. I hope this helps you.

Hi,
I am working on learning how to use a Mac Book Air using Voice Over. I
am needing some suggestions on understanding what I should be interacting
with. I often seem to be interacting with titles that lead nowhere or
tables that lead to other tables where I can’t follow the logic.
A basic task I want to learn is how to use and open the finder where
Downloads, Documents, Applications and Recent items live. I go to the
doc, choose finder, and that is where I get stuck. Sometimes I interact
with the right side bar or title bar and I get so excited. Then I close
everything and can’t duplicate it. Let’s just say I have to step away
from the computer in frustration. That is why I am reaching out for help.
My daughter uses a MAC and she says she can see in the finder the
applications, downloads, documents, etc. on the screen but I can’t
figure out how to access them.
I would also like to understand how to install applications. It sounds
like the application files that I download to the downloads folder needs
to be copied and pasted in to the applications folder. The problem is
that I can’t seem to get to these folders with much ease or consistency.
I was able to figure out how to do it once and my daughter said that I
copied over an image of the application and not the actual application.
Like I said I need more explanation on how this works.
Appreciate any explanation or pointers.
Thanks,
Keith
