Basic Accessibility problem

i have 'inherited' my daughters MacBook Air with Catalina and to be fair I find it pretty daunting but I'm grateful for the accessibility options that are available but I've done something that I don't know how to undo!

Namely - I've only got to hover my mouse anywhere on the screen and I get a little circular clock which then opens that page without any clicking.

As much as I appreciate its intuitiveness I am disappointed that I can't get the likes of Dragon

NaturallySpeaking which has always been my 'go to' aid.

Regards, stefos

System preferences -> accessories -> keyboard -> accessibility keyboard -> Dwell -> uncheck all boxes -> done.

Sorted. Piece of cake!

I’m in love again….

But I’m sure to be here often!

It's getting on my nerves now...

Try to select  -> System Preferences -> Accessibility. Check "Show Accessibility status in menu bar". May be that will help you to locate a problem…

As said in Accessibility preferences – Press Opt+Cmd+F5 to toggle accessibility shortcut. May be this is…
