Mac OS ventura bug, VoiceOver mysteriously disabling itself after shutting my mac's lid, can anyone confirm?

Apple Beta Releases

When I close the lid of my MacBook and it goes to sleep, when I open the lid again, VoiceOver is disabled and I have to reenable it manually, however, VoiceOver was still on when I closed the lid, so it should still be on when opening it again. Can anyone else confirm this bug? Or am I missing a setting?

Remember, user feedback is vital to making the Apple ecosystem even more accessible

Reporting bugs directly to Apple is vital. Don't assume that they must already know about a bug. Regardless, the more information they have on an issue, the easier it is for them to reproduce and resolve. The more reports Apple receive, the more likely they are to prioritise fixing the bug. Quality and quantity of bug reports both matter.

If you are running a beta release, use the Feedback Assistant on your device to submit suggestions and bug reports. If you are on a public release of the software, this page tells you how to submit suggestions and reports.

similar issue, but even worse.

Hi.
I can't use VoiceOver in the login screen, but after that it begins to speak.

Not seeing this here

I'm not seeing the specific issue that you describe.

However, for the past couple of years I typically find that if I open my MacBook's lid a few seconds after closing it, VoiceOver can take more than a minute to become responsive again.

This doesn't happen if the lid has been shut for anything more than 10 seconds or so, but it's darn irritating behaviour on those times when you close the lid and immediately think of something that you meant to do before leaving your computer🤷‍♂️

VoiceOver drastically changes in pitch

By Dolores

Hi all,

I haven't seen any of the behaviors described so far, but VoiceOver is drastically cnaging in pitch while reading text in Pages, TextEdit, websites etc. It's very low, but hwen reading items on the dock it's just fine. It's almost like it's unable to maintain pitch. I was using Fiona, my favorite voice, but I decided to use Alex to see if I'd experience the same issue, I am and it's almost worse. If anyone has a workaround please let me know. Restarting VoiceOver doesn't help.
