Problem with voiceover on a 2019 macbook pro (self.Blind)
submitted by RJHand
This has happened to me a few times already. It is actually currently happening. My voiceover suddenly stops talking and no command to turn it on / off works. Any idea why this is? Anyone else have this happen to them? The last time this happened I restarted the computer by holding down the ID / power button and it fixed the problem. But I'm having no luck so far this time. I still see light from the screen. Anything else I should try??

Could you be accidentally turning off the speech without realising it?

Maybe, is thre a way to do that with the touchbar though? I've only ever heard of doing it with the trackpad and I hardly ever use that or have it on.

Same thing has happened to me a few times on a 2019 macbook pro (not another 2015 one surprisingly). I've had luck with turning VO itself on and off again but eventually I've had to restart the computer as well.

That’s actually happened to me too.

There is a Facebook group called Mac and Voice Over Network that may be able to help. I still have my 2012 machine and it’s running smoothly.
