voice description of television volume changes for the blind

While trying to mute my television, I accidentally turned on some kind of voice assistance for the blind.  I tells me every volume level as I change them.  It also describes all control options.  How can I turn this off?

Looking at my Verizon Fios STB remote control, I don't see a button that would activate a text to speech feature.

There is a feature that allows you to control some STB functions with your voice.

Now...I have legacy Arris 4100-series STBs. It is possible that a text-to-voice function is available on the new STBs...in which case I can't check how it is enabled and disabled. 😐
