OS 10.0 - Irritating Speech

I'm rather inexperienced when it comes to computers, sorry. My computer suddenly started reading my text aloud. If I click onto an open Firefox window, it will say "Firefox Window Mac-Forums.com-Post New Thread". If I click on the desktop, it says "Finder Desktop..." and whatever file I click closest to. Whatever window or program, it does similar things. HELP! IT'S DRIVING ME CRAZY!
