I'm trying to fox an annoying problem on my parents iMac. When I am in mail app the delete key starts the mac text to speak function. The keyboard functions fine on my mac. Any suggestions?

Check the settings for the Speech Or Siri preferences (Depending on Version)

Apple | System Preferences | Speech (Siri)

Thanks for the suggestion. I ended up upgrading the system software and now the problem has fixed itself.
