Listening to the voice in my MacBook Pro

March 20, 2008 3:02 AM | Comments (0)

I have no idea what key I hit, but suddenly, Alex’s voice is everywhere.

When I open a new Firefox tab. When I close one.

When a popup message appears. When I open System Preferences (to see if I can uncheck anything so the voice will stop talking to me!).

It was amusing initially but it’s starting to get a little obsessive-compulsive as it reads out every little step I take.

Admittedly, Alex’s voice is the most accurate and human like. I prefer listening to him over Bruce and Fred. There are lots of things you can make Alex do for you.

But could someone please tell me how to turn him off? :)

[Update: Turns out I hit Command + F5 by accident and that turned Alex on. I’ve just put him back to rest.]
