After I installed ubuntu, I have a voice reading out everything to me - a screen reader. I tried to find why it's starting and how to disable it, but don't know what it might be called.

One thing I can tell - when I kill the init process I was logged out and when I logged in again it disappeared.

How can I disable this?

It is happening becouse you have enabled the Orca Screen Reader .

To disable it go to System settings -> Universal Acess and disable the Screen Reader .

You can also disbale it by editing /etc/xdg/autostart/orca-autostart.desktop

  • Open it using gksudo gedit /etc/xdg/autostart/orca-autostart.desktop

  • Now change the NoDisplay to false

    NoDisplay=false
