How to stop verbal announcement of text messages?

[nantastic]

New phone user here.  Every time I receive a text message, I get a verbal announcement:  Incoming text from John Doe.  Or Incoming text from 800-555-1234.  I cannot figure out where in the settings to turn this off.  I don't mind if I get a chime or sound, but I don't want the phone announcing the name or number out loud.

Thank you.

Go to settings --> Accessibility Look under SYSTEM Caller ID & Readout and check Ring Only.. that should stop the issue..b33

I checked the settings, and it already said Ring Only, so I switched it to one of the other things, received a text and then switched it back to Ring Only to maybe force the setting.

No go.    So I'm still looking for a solution.  Thank you for your input.

Nantastic Go back to the Setting i Mentioned and give this a Try.. Tap Talk back and then Tap Settings on the Bottom of the Page and Un-check speak caller ID and see if that Works i'm kind of wondering if it Will it's a Long shot to try it but it don't hurt anything doing it b33

That sounded promising, but it didn't work either.  I'll keep trying and post back if I figure it out.  Thanks for the ideas.

Try checking if Talkback is disabled under settings / Accessibility / Talkback...  If this is enabled disable.

Yep, TalkBack is turned to off.  I've tried doing a hard power-down every time I change the settings.  The phone is still announcing calls and texts.

Hey Wildman thanks for the Screen Shoters that is a cool feature.. b

I'm assuming the answer is "No", but just checking!  Have you downloaded an app such as eCID?  (This can be configured to speak the name of a caller and the author of texts and emails, as well as read the entire message).  Hopefully you would have remembered had you done so!
