My S3 has suddenly started to speak all my text messages and incoming call numbers? How can I shut this off? Thanks

Hi
It sounds as if driving mode might be enabled. Go into settings > Language and input > Text to speech output and make Driving mode needs to be unchecked, if it is checked then tap the checkmark to make it disappear.
Hope that helps!

1. Go to Settings
2. Select Accessibility
