Feb 11, 2013 10:04 PM in response to trishatprby randers4,Are you sure it isn't VoiceOver? Does Siri announce the name of items when you tap on them?

Feb 12, 2013 4:44 PM in response to randers4by trishatpr,It's Voice Control. That's what it says at the top. It's not reading anything to me, it's waiting for a command. When I say siri, it try's to call a contact who's name sounds similar.

Try a restart. Hold power and home until apple logo appears.

Feb 12, 2013 5:32 PM in response to trishatprby stevejobsfan0123,Try Settings > General > Reset > Reset All Settings. No data will be lost, but you may have to reconfigure other settings that you changed.

Feb 12, 2013 8:40 PM in response to stevejobsfan0123by Cscience1,I know its voice control.
But if you go to settings,accesibility, voiceover off.
Just wondering if that would work.

Jan 7, 2015 5:04 PM in response to trishatprby Jennfrmnampa,I'm having the exact same issues. None of the ideas given helped. I wish I'd never updated to 8 nothing but problems for me. Does anyone from apple EVER read these support pages and offer help? Doesn't seem like it.

First you need to switch on Siri and Dictation at Settigs -> General -> Restrictions -> Siri & Dictation (you might be asked for your code)
and now also turn Siri on at Settings -> General -> Siri. Now if you wanna set on ''Hey Siri'' service you'll be asked to do a voice control.
