    My computer suddenly began talking to me, telling me what apps I'm currently in, what keys I'm hitting, what tools I have selected...
    I have no idea how this started happening, but how do I stop it????
    system prefs all say these things are turned off.

    consider yourself lucky that someone actually wants to talk to you.

    I once accidentally turned on a higher screen contrast with the keyboard shortcut (cmnd option ^ .). The Mac was new to me at the time and it probably took two weeks for me to figure the damn problem out.
