Hi Sailesh:

If you are trying to disable this message, this can be done from the
speech and sounds manager.

access settings centre from your browser,
select speech and sounds manager
Specify the speech and sound scheme,
activate the edit button,
Move to the html tab and select the described by item in the list,

you can then modified the settings and text to be spoken at this point
and then save the scheme.

I have rarely needed to use this feature, but had to recently. I think
this should be added to the quick settings functionality and perhaps in
the Site specific options as well.
