Use the VoiceOver welcome dialog on Mac
When you first turn on VoiceOver, a welcome dialog is shown.
Note: VO represents the VoiceOver modifier.
Continue using VoiceOver: Press Enter or click Use VoiceOver.
Prevent the welcome dialog from appearing each time you turn on VoiceOver: Press the V key or select “Do not show this message again.”
Start the VoiceOver Quick Start tutorial: Press the Space bar or click Learn More.
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.
Thanks for your feedback.
