Seriously ... "talks constantly" isn't very specific. Is it describing what's happening on your screen or is it reading an audio book or are you hearing the voice of the machine describing its inner angst?

I'm guessing you have Voiceover enabled, but you said CMD-F5 didn't change it ... perhaps your voiceover modifier has gotten changed?

A couple of pages that might help ...

In any event, recheck System Setting / Accessibility / VoiceOver and confirm that it's disabled.
