My screen has roaring blue lines in rectangles over each text block or picture. How do I turn it off?

Hi spfdesign,

Thank you for using the Apple Support Communities.

We understand that your screen has blue lines in rectangles over text or pictures and we’re happy to help! It sounds like you have the VoiceOver feature enabled to turn off VoiceOver press Command-F5.

For additional information check out the Apple resources below:

Mac accessibility shortcuts

Use accessibility features on Mac

Accessibility VoiceOver preferences on Mac

Let us know if this helps.

Take care.
