Raspberry Pi OS • Re: Screen Reader: How to disable?

This morning, i turned on my raspberry pi 4 to hear a voice on my screen. At first, I thought that it was my monitor but as i muted my volume it stopped. I did a load of searching and I found that it was the Orca screen reader. It does not come pre-installed but if you press Ctrl+alt+space it will download it for you. To disable Orca, you need to, hang on with me here, DELETE ORCA (menu, preferences, recommended software, uncheck Orca, apply) INSTALL ORCA (menu, preferences, recommended software, check Orca, apply) REBOOT THEN UNINSTALL ORCA. That worked for me.

Easier to remove with apt command:

Code:

sudo apt remove orca

Then reboot
