during my new macbook setup, I have accidentally turn on something, so it keeps talking when I type how whenever I type. I check the accessiblility, under system preference the voiceover feature is off. so how to turn the voice off if the "voiceover feature" is NOT on at first place?
MacBook Pro 15″, macOS 10.14
Check Accessibility for "Spoken Content" instead of VoiceOver.

Hi, Lanny Yea, I unclicked all the selected items in the "Spoken Center", now the macbook stop talking back now.
Thank you!!
Perhaps restart the Mac into Safe mode. (This may ask for password twice,
& should show words 'Safe mode' in upper right menu-bar.) On start, let it
run, then sit awhile. Maybe 15 to 20 min. Instructions for both 'Intel-based
Mac' & 'Apple silicon' type Mac processors, are in this article.
• How to use safe mode on your Mac - Apple Support
https://support.apple.com/en-us/HT201262
This would check and repair minor issues. After awhile, restart the Mac; and
're-select settings' you tried before. Those should be able to be changed now.
(Or simply check 'accessibility' in voice-over? I've never used it; so don't know.)
Depending on the hardware build type, 'Intel-based' or 'Apple silicon' based
these instructions tell how to run the repair in article below:
• How to repair a Mac disk with Disk Utility - Apple Support
https://support.apple.com/en-us/HT210898
[There is a Recovery mode, too, can be used to check, repair, erase, & format drives.]
(Yet again, these vary between older 'Intel-Mac' and 'Apple silicon' hardware.)

• Use macOS Recovery on a Mac with Apple Silicon - Apple Support

Unlikely you'd need more than a full restart; or start in Safe mode, then
restart ~ After sufficient time for the utility to run, check and repair files.
Hi, Shaffer Thanks for the info.
