To turn off the automatic text reader on your device, follow these steps:
1. Open the home page on your phone: Unlock your device and navigate to the home screen. This is usually done by pressing the home button or swiping up from the bottom of the screen.
2. Open the Settings Menu: Locate and tap on the Settings app. It is usually represented by a gear icon and can be found on the home screen or in the app drawer.
3. Click on the option General: In the Settings menu, scroll down and look for the option labeled “General.” Tap on it to proceed.
4. Access the Accessibility settings: Within the General menu, you will find various options related to accessibility. Look for and tap on the “Accessibility” option to enter the Accessibility settings.
5. Find the “Speak Auto-Text” option: In the Accessibility settings, you will see a list of options related to different accessibility features. Scroll through the list until you find the “Speak Auto-Text” option. This feature is responsible for automatically reading text messages out loud when they are received.
6. Turn off Speak Auto-Text: Tap on the “Speak Auto-Text” option to access its settings. You should see a toggle switch next to it. Simply tap on the switch to turn off the feature. The switch should move to the off position, indicating that Speak Auto-Text has been disabled.
