Tech Nightmare

When things TECHIE go awry, with no reason known for it, I can't stop until I fix whatever it is.

2 days ago, I received a text while in the living room and Remote Man had the TV blasting and I could not use the talk to text to answer the incoming.

I started to type the answer slowly, since I can't type worth a darn on that tiny keyboard, and the phone spoke LOULY and clearly

E.V.E.R.Y. L.E.T.T.E.R. I.T.Y.P.E.D

Bob said What the H#@$ is that?

I went to the bedroom and 30 minutes later had a huge headache. I did not know what, how had changed and could not find a way to make it STOP!

2 days later, I typed

Why does my Samsung say every letter I type in my A10e?

Google Girl told me how to fix it by speaking.

I COULD FIND NOTHING ANYWHERE THAT SHE MENTIONED.

I ask the question in different ways.

Fiannly came to the BIG DESK TOP SCREEN

and asked again. UNDER People also ask I found these

Why does my Samsung say every letter I type?

1 Solution

Open settings. Click on Accessibility. Click on Advanced settings. Check that "Speak keyboard input aloud" is turned (I WOULD BUT COULD NOT FIND IT ANYWHERE ON THE PHONE)

How do I stop keyboard from sounding out the letters that I type Samsung?

Solution

Go to settings.

Select Language and Input.

At the keyboard settings tab, select configure input methods.

At Android keyboard, select Settings.

Uncheck Sound on keypress.  (NOWHERE TO BE FOUND ON THE PHONE)

In Desperation before I threw the phone to the 8 foot deep end of the pool, I said out loud

Hey Google, Turnoff Talkback... GG (google girl) said doing it now. DONE!

I tested by typing and she continued to READ EACH LETTER LOUDLY

As I started to rant and rave and curse GG out loud, I glanced down at the phone

and saw these words. Tap here to turn off something and I did and it worked.

NOW I HAVE no clue what I did, and also what may have been turned on that will come back to bite me in the near future.

For Now It is fixed...

Come On MURPHY 

Bring. IT. On. 

IT IS APRIL, SO

AND THIS IS NOT A

JOKE

THIS IS NOT AN APRIL FOOLS JOKE! 

THIS IS NOT AN APRIL FOOLS JOKE!
