Hello people I pressed something I shouldn't off (don't know what lol), and now my computer keeps speaking to me reading stuff out automatically and is really pissing me off. I can't restart because I am downloading a big file which I can't pause.

Does anyone know the setting/command to make my Mac OS X stop talking ? :(

(Sorry people i'm new to Macs)

lol, um well I don't have a mac.
If I was there I could probably figuer it out, but I'm not.

Try searching the help index for "Accessability Options" or "Voice" or something like that.  It sounds like it's some kind of thing for blind people.  Not that blind people can really use computers much.

It was reading everything back to me.

Its all fixed now thanks to Ana, she told me how to

Universal Access -> Voice Over -> Off

IT really really really was annoying me. Wanted to make me smash it to pieces.

The shortcut to turn it on was Command + F5. Psh.
