    Speech feedback icon stuck on Mac

    Yesterday I was playing a chess game on my newly bought Mac computer. While playing I noticed that the system pop ups a speech icon as soon as I attempted to understand how to switch the voice off. Luckily the voices get turned off, except icon meant for Speech Feedback won't leave, still with chess stopped. All I would like to carry out is turn off the Speech Feedback icon, it pops up on each time I turn on my PC.

    The speech feedback icon is full of life while the vocal essential, otherwise open an appthat utilizes speech acknowledgment, for example Chess. Select Apple menu> System Preferences, click Speech, afterward "Voice recognition". Disable voice elements. If you are utilizing the app Chess, Chess select> Preferences plus uncheck the box "Allow Player to Speak Moves". For additional apps through speech recognition, observe the directions given with the app. If you would like to shift the speech feedback icon from the Dock, double-click on top of it otherwise say "Minimize speech feedback window."

    You observe the Speech Feeback round pane floating on every one of your windows. While you double click on the peak part of the Speech Feeback window it is minimized onto your "Dock", which seems like a small icon on top of the "folder" section of the Dock. Dependent on the direction of your Dock things might be at the base otherwise right segment of the Dock. If you have Speech Recognition enabled you cannot put out of sight the Speech Feedback window.

    Regulars of Mac OS X have long known that the red button on the top left of a window close this window. In most cases, however, the window is closed, but not the application, which allows an immediate reopening of it if we remember. However, when the office is literally invaded by the windows and want to close them, you do in most cases individually for each window. But there is a much simpler solution: hold down the Option key while you click the little red button. All windows of the application will close, and it is better to be sure of his shot. Note that this trick also works for other buttons.

    It seems to me like a bug in your computer or the version of MAC OS you are having. If there is still any update available for your os then you should do that because it might gonna solve problem sometimes. However if this is not the case then try to disable it again by the use of the command line. If you do not know about the commands then open the activity monitor and see whether there is any related process running in background or not. if you find any then kill the process manually. I hope that this is helpful.

    To close a program, the quickest way is to use the keyboard shortcut cmd + Q, with active application we want to close. This key combination is always served to close the program you are using. We can also right-click (control + click) on the dock on the program icon you want to close, and choose 'Exit'. And if a program crashes (which also runs on Mac, if less), you can click the right mouse button on the dock, while also press the Alt key to reveal the "Force Quit".
