Typing and Mouse Echo: Can I use these without Voiceover?

anyone have a quick tip for using the typing echo and mouse echo without enabling Voiceover? The full Voiceover program and cursor don't work for me but I'd like to use these specific tools with Zoom. Thoughts?
Hi, I have set my verbosity levels at low, and turned off everything I possibly can in the voiceover settings. I still get more talk than I want, but I use the typing echo only when I'm typing and toggle voice over on and off with the command and F5 key.
I do not use a mouse echo, but I do use the speech option where I can highlight§text and then hit two keys to have the computer read it to me.
Using zoom and these techniques, my mac performed as well as any PC running zoom text.
