Thank you, turning it off also in the login greeter did the trick!
If you don't need it nor anybody that uses your computer you can remove it:
sudo apt-get remove --purge gnome-orca
If the screen reader is on for the login greeter, use 'ctrl+s' key on
dialogue, next time you login. On your desktop, use 'alt+super+s' to toggle
the screen reader. If it is off, it should be off in future sessions.

I've noticed that sometimes when I boot my computer the screen reader is
turned on. I don't need a screen reader, so then I always turn it off in
System Settings. Does anyone know why it keeps re-enabling itself?

You can also press the following buttons on the keyboard to enable or disable
this utility:

spying voice? I'm shocked. I'm out of here! Adieau!
Just a note for folks who are trying to escape *indows: super is the key
with the wavy flag between Ctrl and Alt.

It's turned on automatically if you stay idle too long at the start of the
install as you're presumed to be blind or hard at seeing.
try in terminal:
alsamixer
see if the speaker is all the way up (it was 60%) on a fresh installation of
debian wheezy. I turned it up all the way and now it's loud and pumping

You may have accidentally enabled the screen reader.
To disable it, open up the system settings, open the Universal Access
category, and flip the screen reader on/off switch to off.
Hi Everyone,
I installed trisquel 7 today and I didn’t have sound. I went to the sound
setting and pushed the slider all the way beyond 100% to see if I can hear
anything. I then started to hear a spying voice saying every click or move I
make on the laptop whether browsing, switching
