Hear VoiceOver read the current selection on Mac
You can have VoiceOver read what is in the VoiceOver cursor, such as specific text or a checkbox label.
Note: VO represents the VoiceOver modifier.
When VoiceOver is enabled on your Mac, do one of the following:
Press VO-F6.
If Trackpad Commander is enabled, tap three times on the trackpad.
If nothing is selected, VoiceOver says No Selection.
Thanks for your feedback.
