-- Posted by bighead1991 at 2:44 pm on June 5, 2006 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) -- Posted by AnonymousIsGood at 2:49 pm on June 5, 2006 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. -- Posted by scottyrob at 2:53 pm on June 5, 2006 Not sure exactly because im on my windows laptop at the momment, but if you go to the System panel and then sound, you can mute the sound.. Is there any application open that may be reading information back to you? i.e Word or Textedit? -- Posted by bighead1991 at 2:54 pm on June 5, 2006 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. -- Posted by sydpao at 8:45 am on Aug. 18, 2006 Quote: from bighead1991 at 2:54 pm on June 5, 2006 It was reading everything back to me.
