MacBook Pro starts pronouncing the selected words after double clicking.

Apparently when I double click any text on my screen, my mac starts pronouncing the selected words. Anyone knows how to disable it?

You may have an option checked in Accessibility to do this. From the Apple menu (), go to System Preferences. Then go to Accessibility > Speech, and make sure that none of the options are checked if you don't want your Mac to read out items on-screen.
