Use VoiceOver activities on Mac
Use VoiceOver activities to create groups of settings for specific uses. For example, create an activity to use a certain voice and faster speaking rate when you shop online, then create a second activity to use a different voice and slower speaking rate when you read online articles.
Note: VO represents the VoiceOver modifier that you press with additional keys to enter VoiceOver commands. By default, you can press Control and Option together or just press Caps Lock.
Set up activities
Go to VoiceOver Utility (press VO-Fn-F8 when VoiceOver is on).
Click the Activities category, then click
to create an activity.Type a name for the activity, such as “Online Shopping.”
To rename an activity, select the activity in the table, press Enter, then type a new name.
For each setting you want to customize for this activity, select the checkbox, then click Set.
To have VoiceOver automatically use the activity based on where the VoiceOver cursor is focused in a supported app, click the Context pop-up menu, then choose a context.
For example, choose Source Code to automatically switch to this activity when the VoiceOver cursor is focused on programming code in the Xcode app.
To have VoiceOver automatically use the activity for certain apps or websites, click the Apps and Websites pop-up menu.
To specify apps, choose them from the pop-up menu, or choose Add App to browse for and select apps.
To specify websites, click Add Website, then enter the URL of the website.
To duplicate an activity that you set up, select it in the list, click 
, then choose Duplicate Activity. Any apps or websites specified for the original activity are not included in the duplicate. To rename the duplicate, click its name in the list, then type a new name.
Use an activity
If you switch to or open an app or website that you associated an activity with, VoiceOver identifies the activity (if verbosity is set to Medium or High).
Manually choose an activity in the Activity Chooser: Press VO-X to display the Activity Chooser, use the Down Arrow and Up Arrow keys to navigate the list until you find the one you want to use, then press Return.
Use the previous activity: Press VO-X-X.
Exit the Activity Chooser without making a selection: Press the Escape key or Fn-Tab.
