Press the key combination command-F5 to deactivate VoiceOver. If that doesn't work, proceed as follows.


For OS X 10.7: From the menu bar, select

System Preferences Universal Access Seeing VoiceOver: Off


For OS X 10.8: Select

System Preferences Accessibility VoiceOver

and uncheck the box labeled Enable VoiceOver.
