Turn off voice guidance

Somehow the voice guidance feature was turned on and I can't figure out how to get it off.  It provides audio details for all new open windows.
Not sure what is is exactly called.

That's VoiceOver. You can turn it off from System Preferences - Universal Access (or Accessibility in 10.8)  - VoiceOver. Or use the keyboard shortcut command-F5.

  • How to turn off voice control with iPhone 5s with iOS 8

    I Dropped my phone in the tub, I have an otterbox on it but it didn't do the phone any good :/. I dried it off and the home button started acting up. And now it doesnt work when i hit it. But the Touch ID still works. However randomly voice control will pop up and call random people when i don't even touch it. I tried going into restrictions > Siri and turning it off I turned off voice

    Otterbox cases are not waterproof and are not advertised to be so. For that, you need a Lifeproof case or similar.
    If you turn off Siri, Voice Control is enabled. The only way to turn off Voice Control is to turn Siri back on. Your phone has been damaged by immersion in liquid and may never work properly again. Sorry.

  • How do I turn off voice control for ipod features?

    HI,
    I'm having an issue with my iphone 4, when using with a 3rd party set of earbud headphones that include an inline microphone, wind and ambient noise cause the voice control to go haywaire.  I've found the option to turn off voice dialing for the phone, but can't find a way to shut this off in iPod mode. Help?  Please?  It's driving me crazy...

    I have the same problem with my ipod touch 4th generation.  It only started a few days ago after I finally updated it ios 6.1.6; I never knew Voice Control existed on my ipod before then. 
    It has not happened when I had headphones plugged in, only when it was sitting by itself on a table and I wasn't touching it. 
    The first time it happened, it was sitting on my night table at 4am while I was sleeping.  The second time it happened, it was sitting on my desk at work while I was quietly typing; I had to apologize to my coworkers while I tried to figure out how to make it stop.  Just now it happened again, sitting on my kitchen counter while I was on the other side of the room.  It has happened about four more times while I was sitting here at the computer researching the problem.  I even checked to make sure the case (Otterbox) wasn't pressing on the Home button, and it's not.
    I HATE IT!!!!!!  It makes me so angry!  If I can't figure out a way to make it stop, I'm going to have to stop using it altogether.  Is that what you want, Apple?  And no, I won't upgrade and buy a newer model; I'll get an Android version.
