Iphone 5 keeps saying the NATO Phonetic Alphabet......HELP!

My iphone 5 out of nowhere suddenly started saying out loud the NATO Phonetic Alphabet everytime I use the keyboard. I don't think I changed any of the settings and I didn't download anything. This is really annoying, does anyone know how to shut it off??

iPhone 5s, iOS 12

Hello Crochur112.


Welcome to Apple Support Communities. I understand that you want to disable the speech of characters that you’re typing on your iPhone 5 keyboard. I’m happy to help.


Please go to Settings > General > Accessibility > Speech > Typing Feedback > Speak Words. Then disable. 


Take care.

Welcome back Crochur112.


Please go to Settings > Accessibility > VoiceOver > Typing > Phonetic Feedback.  Are you able to disable the phonetic feedback? If not, please contact Apple Support here for further assistance: Get Support


Here’s some additional information on typing feedback here: Use Typing Feedback on your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch - Apple Support
