Hi, I bought an iBook G4 last year just for surfing, it is OS X 10.5.8. I was exploring through it as I have always had a PC and wanted to see what the operating system was like. I somehow managed to find a page that allowed me to type in a two sentence greeting to me at login and now I want to change it, but I cannot figure out how to do it now. I can't even shut if off. I thought I entered it in the log in greeting on the voice over settings on the universal access preferences page but that does not work. I can change the voice sound but not the message. I have spent hours trying to figure this out, can someone help me please! Thanks. ;P
How do i turn off or change text to speech?

What did you use to create the greeting message? There are numerous third party applications which can do this. We need to know what you used. It's been a long time since I ran Leopard, but I don't remember anything in System Preference which could add a greeting message.
text to speech
That's the thing. I ran no other program. Just was clicking on things, I believe in system preferences and came across a page for a log in greeting and typed in a greeting and when I turned on my computer the next time, there it was. It comes on now everytime I turn on my computer.

OK, thanks for posting back. I'm currently using Mountain Lion but perhaps this will help:
Open System Preferences: Click on Security & Privacy (or whatever it's called in Leopard).
You should see a box that states: "Show a message when the screen is locked". If this box is checked and you entered a greeting there, it will show up each time you log on and your password is required.
To change that, click on the small lock at the bottom of the dialog, enter your admin password, and then remove the check from that box.
Again, I'm not sure if that will help you....
