In the sixteenth of a series of podcasts intended to help new users of VoiceOver on the Mac, David Woodbridge shows us how to unmute VoiceOver speech if it has inadvertently been muted whilst running VoiceOver. These demonstrations were recorded on a Mac running OS X Snow Leopard, but the procedure is still the same at the time of posting.
