the only time I've heard mine read anything outloud, other than caller id, which is an app I have setup, was when I inadvertently turned driving mode on-check for that in your toggles

My phone reads out emails loud when s-pen is near the screen! What should I do to turn this feature off?

Hmm. I read of people having trouble with hovering over the screen with the s-pen and it acting like it was already touching the screen. They said hitting it against something hard fixed the issue. Try that? Lol!

Affirmative its a visual impaired setting :)

Sent from my SCH-I605 using xda premium
This is the only thread I can find about this, so I'll revive it here.

I have car mode off

All Accessibility features off (except for my Pebble notifications), in the Talkback Accessibility, I unchecked everything (just in case) even though it's off.

Under Text-to-speech output, if I choose the 'very slow' speech rate, I can confirm that the emails are IN FACT spoken more slowly.

How do I stop this text-to-speech from happening? I can't find a visual impair setting anywhere.

Edit: I FINALLY FIGURED IT OUT.

Even having Pebble on Accessibility notifications (for some reason) enables TTS features, no matter what you disable. This has been realized for other Accessibility options in Touchwiz before, so for anyone having this issue, here:

Hopefully it's fixed in future software updates!
