    Hello,

    I hope someone can help. I woke up this morning to my phone talking to me. It has started reading everything I want to do. It reads my apps, but won't let me look at it.

    I don't know how this was turned on but it's really really annoying and I want to read my texts.

    Go into your setting/ accessibility / screen reader and turn off.

    Try pushing the on/off switch at the top 3 times in succession - that should stop the voice dictation.

    Turn off screen reader at "settings", "accessibility".

    Yeah, you need to turn off one of your apps that has voice recognition. This same thing happened to me until I turned off the BlackBerry Voice Activation as well as a voice-activated GPS app.

    You should have a "setting" icon on your screen (looks like a grey gear) or a pull down menu with "settings" and then a choice "accessibity". You may also have a "voice recognition" icon as well.
