Laughter when I type

My phone is laughing like I am tickling it when I touch my keyboard to send a message or dial phone number. How do I turn this off?

iPhone 12 Pro Max, iOS 16

I noticed that one of the new voices in iOS 17 is called Jester that sounds like someone is trying to talk but laughing too hard.

Go to: Settings-Accessibility-Speech-Voice….scroll all the way down to Novelty & it’s listed there. Hope that helps.

I purposely set mine to that voice because I have an ex who loves to spy on me through my phone all the time by connecting BT headphones & external keyboard….this way he can get completely annoyed while trying to listen to my keystrokes being read back to him! 🤔
