Control VoiceOver with Trackpad Commander on Mac

When using VoiceOver with Trackpad Commander enabled, the pointer on your Mac sometimes turns into a blue ring. This blue ring shows you where VoiceOver is focused on your display. 

You can move the blue ring to other parts of the display by dragging your finger across the trackpad. VoiceOver then describes what the ring is hovering over.
