Use the welcome dialog
When you first turn on VoiceOver, a welcome dialog is shown.
Note: VO represents the VoiceOver modifier.
To continue using VoiceOver, press Enter or click Use VoiceOver.
To continue using VoiceOver and prevent the welcome dialog from appearing each time you turn on VoiceOver, press the V key or select “Do not show this message again.”
To start the VoiceOver Quick Start tutorial, press the Space bar or click Learn More.
To exit the dialog without turning on VoiceOver, press Command-Q or Escape, or click Turn Off VoiceOver.
To set an option to control whether the dialog is shown, open VoiceOver Utility (press VO-F8 when VoiceOver is on), then click the General category.
