Dark gray bar at top of screen that says "Type to" on my MacBook Pro

Dark gray bar at top of my screen that says Type to appeared on my MacBook Pro last night. I can not figure out how to get rid of it, it blocks files on desktop. if you type into it it just repeats back what you typed

A screen shot would help exemplify what it is you are seeing...


Not heard of this— sounds like some Accessibility feature(?)

>System Settings>Accessibility


Have you shut down and restarted the machine.?
