Why is my Mac talking to me?
Jamie has become very fascinated with our new Mac and loves hammering on the keyboard. When I see her headed that way I’ll startup Alpha Baby so she can play without accidentally deleting something. The other day, however, she worked some magic on the keyboard and suddenly the Mac was speaking to us. Every window we opened it would tell us what we were doing and what was on the page. What made matters worse is that this voice was immune to the volume and mute buttons!
It is times like this that I really love Google. I searched for “How do I make my mac stop talking” and immediately found this answer.
go to your “system preferences”, click on “universal access” and under “hearing” turn “voice over” off
Woohoo! Blessed silence.

Hi, thanks for this. Mine just started talking to me too, I searched “why is my mac suddenly speaking” and found this post, so thanks!
Thank you soooo much! I was going crazy!
Too funny. My little one was playing with the keyboard too. The next thing I know, a scary robot voice is talking to me. Thanks for the help!
Apple-F5 will toggle it off and on.
Hahah! OMG my mac is a talking robot! I knew macs were taking over but not in this way!
Heh.
