How do I stop the voice from saying the letters when I text messages

Hello Appleknockers16,

We found what looks to be happening with your iPhone:

Even if VoiceOver is turned off, you can have iPhone speak selected text or the entire screen. iPhone can also provide feedback and speak text corrections and suggestions as you type.

The feature you're referring to is called Typing Feedback. You can turn this off at Settings > Accessibility > Spoken Content.This info can be found here:

Change the speech settings

1. Go to Settings  > Accessibility > Spoken Content.

2. Adjust any of the following:

* Speak Selection: To hear text you selected, tap the Speak button.

* Speak Screen: To hear the entire screen, swipe down with two fingers from the top of the screen.

* Speech Controller: Show the controller for quick access to Speak Screen and Speak on Touch.

* Highlight Content: iPhone can highlight words, sentences, or both as they’re spoken. You can change the highlight color and style.

* Typing Feedback: You can configure typing feedback for the onscreen and external keyboards and choose to have iPhone speak each character, entire words, auto-corrections, auto-capitalizations, and typing predictions.

* To hear typing predictions, you also need to go to Settings > General > Keyboards, then turn on Predictive.
