This has to do with an option in accessibility settings called speak screen. To

Once in there look for the speak screen setting and turn it to off.

If your settings are such that the speaking bar appears which seems obvious,
you need to understand what gesture invokes the speaking bar and how to close
it. With focus on any item in the topline status bar, a two finger swipe down
will start the speaking bar. When it starts, it appears
The speak screen setting should also be off. Sadly Other than those two
settings, I haven't heard of anything else causing the speaking bar to
appear. I hope others have perhaps found out how to deal with this oddly
