My Raspi speaker is saying everything I write

Question

Something strange is happening with my Raspi speaker.

Everything I do in Raspbian is repeated by my speaker.

For example, when I type "ls" in my terminal, it says "ls" and then tells me all the folders found in the directory.

How can I turn off this weird behavior?

Answer 1

sudo apt-get remove orca
sudo apt-get remove gnome-orca
killall orca

Answer 2

Remove the text to speech program

sudo apt purge espeak

or the screen reader program

sudo apt purge orca
