How to Turn Off the Voiceover on a Mac

Mac computers come with a feature called "VoiceOver" that was designed to assist the visually impaired or those with learning disabilities. It reads text documents and Web pages out loud, in addition to alerting you of changes being made on your desktop. If you find you don't have a need for this feature, you can turn it off through the Mac's "System Preferences" menu.

Instructions

1. Click the Mac "Apple" icon at the top of the screen.

2. Click "System Preferences."

3. Click "Speech" then click "Text to Speech."

4. Click "Open Universal Access Preferences."

5. Click "Seeing" then locate "VoiceOver." Click the "Off" button next to "VoiceOver."
