How do I turn off spoken notifications?

I keep getting annoying notifications like "skype needs your attention" when it's just opening and "your battery is low, plug in your computer" that are spoken and really distracting. HOW CAN I TURN THIS OFF? I know it's not voiceover- I already tried that.

MacBook Pro, iOS 7.0.4

If System Preferences > Accessibility > Enable VoiceOver is "Off", which is what I think you are saying, then ...


Check System Preferences > Dictation & Speech > Text to Speech (tab) > Announce when alerts are displayed ...

make sure it is not checked.
