Hi Pamholl,


Thank you for participating in the Apple Support Communities. If your device is speaking what you text out loud, here are a few steps to help:


  1. Restart the device to see if the issue persists.
  2. Check to see if you may have accidentally turned this feature on: Have your Mac speak text that’s on the screen - Apple Support
  3. If the issue persists, reach out to Apple Support here: Contact - Official Apple Support


Have a great day.
