  "textContent": "Hello,\nI just bought Mac Book Air last Sunday. It was my first Mac and enjoyed voiceover tutorial and browsing web using Safari.\nWhen I was browsing web using keyboard and trackpad, voiceover suddenly spoke \"voiceover will stop speech\" and no longer spoke.\nI had no idea how I can make voiceover speak again. It did not help to restart voiceover by pressing command key and F5 key, voiceover spoke \"stop speech\" as soon as it spoke \"voiceover on\" and it became silent again.\nI seeked Mac voiceover guide using another Windows PC, then I found there is a gesture for trackpad to turn on speech, it was double tap trackpad by 3 fingers. Finally I succeeded to make voiceover speak again by this gesture.\nQuestion is that why voiceover does not speak by restarting voiceover. If it is iPhone, voiceover speak by restarting with triple click home button or side button even if speech was turned off by double tap with 3 fingers. Do you have any idea?",
