VoiceOver, Handwriting and Zoom

Hi all.

There are a few clashes when using handwriting in VoiceOver when Zoom is enabled. Is there a way of setting up an automation that temporarily turns off Zoom when entering handwriting mode? I'm thinking of something that works in the same way as the Focus option which temporarily silences notifications in chosen apps.

Suppose I'm being a bit lazy but something that can switch Zoom ono and off when handwriting would be brilliant.

Thanks,

Matt

Nice idea, Matt but I don’t think you’ll be able to do this with either an automation or a shortcut. The closest I can get is that it is easy to create shortcuts to allow you to use Siri to turn zoom on and off. I don’t think that there is any way to do this automatically when you use handwriting.
