Is this a new MacBook Pro or older model? If new you’ll press the fingerprint
reader / power button 3 times rapidly while holding down command. If older
you’ll use the function key method.

Hi John,
Thank you so much for your help. Just a curious question, you said depending
on the laptop. So I am getting a macbook pro with 8 GB Ram and 512 GB
storage. So will I be able to activate voiceover using command f5 or will
need to hold down the command key and press the power button at the top right
corner 3 times quickly as you suggested?

Hi Manoj,
Welcome to the list. I hope you find it helpful for you.
You will need to power on the laptop by pressing the power button the
first time. Then, you should here a recorded voice that gives you the option
to turn on VoiceOver for the setup process. Depending on what kind of Laptop
you have, you will either press command-Function key 5 or you will hold the
command key down and press the SIRI button at the top right corner of the
keyboard, which is also the power button, three quick times to activate SIRI.
You will have speech throughout the entire setup process.
and Be sure to navigate and listen to all screens. Holding down control and
option keys with the right or left arrow will enable you to navigate the
screens, and pressing control-option-spacebar will active the, Next, or,
Continue, buttons on any screen.
Take Care
