Question Talking iMac
Help! My young children have been playing on my iMac today and have somehow turned on something that makes the iMac speak everything that is on the screen - Is there are quick fix to turn this off?

Yes.

Click on the top-left Apple Menu and scroll down to: System Preferences...

In System Preferences, click once on: Universal Access, fourth rank down - it looks like a symbolic man inside a blue circle.

In Universal Access, click the "Off" button under: VoiceOver.

You can then Quit System Preferences.

No let young children play with BIG Apple fun-thing, without supervision.
For more help, open System Preferences... again, and select: Parental Controls - for more options.
