Chrome, black cloud appearing.

[Rowf]

Best I could do with the title because I don't know what it is!!

Using Google Chrome on Lion, all updates installed.

When I click on text in my browser it brings up a little black cloud shape with more info written in the middle, a cloud on the left and a speaker symbol on the right which speaks the word if I click on it.
It doesn't function with javascript disabled.
I assume that it's somekind of helper function but I find it annoying.
What is it and how can I turn it off without disabling javascript?

Thanks
Rowf

Is that dictionary? Check if you install any dictionary extensions.

Hi, no extensions installed.
Checked with Safari as well and it also appears on there but if I disable plugins it doesn't run. If I click on the cloud symbol on the left it brings up a box with search results for the word that I've clicked. The results are from Bing and if I click on Bing at the bottom of the box it takes me to the Microsoft Developer page. Think I must have enabled something somewhere along the line but I've no idea what!!

Cheers
Rowf.

System preferences>speech> check settings and disable as required.

Hi and thanks for answering,

Checked this on a windows pc and a linux system and it appears to be site specific, apologies, I neglected to include it was on a specific site in my original query. Apparently some sites support this as a 'helper', Lord knows why, it's a nuisance to say the least.
At least I know it's not my mac

Thanks

Go under Safari -> Preferences -> Extensions and post what you see.


Like this:

Do the same for Google chrome by going to the Wrench -> Tools -> Extensions and also post that.
