tested Siri this morning and now I can't turn off Siri at all. I can't scroll on my iPhone 4S or do anything without Siri talking. Even went to settings and turned it off and it still talks.
also did several soft resets. I NEED HELP!!
What is Siri saying? Is it reoeating what is on the screen? If so, go to Setings/General/Accessibility and make sure VoiceOver and other settings are off.
I'm not sure why it's not the default setting. But, at least it's easy to change. 🙂
Derek, I am having the same problem, and your solution almost worked. I was able to use three fingers to get to the place where it showed that voiceover is enabled. Thought my problems were over, but when I tried to turn voiceover off, the screen went blank -- and that is where I am now. Rebooting the phone does nothing. Even though the screen is blank, the voiceover is still talking when I touch the screen.
I was going to "Restore" through iTunes, but the warning came up that all the apps I bought will be deleted and I would have to repurchase them. Not gonna do that!
Have you tried the triple click of the home button, failing that it looks like a trip to the genius bar!
I found another thread where someone said the problem could be fixed in iTunes, so I did that on my computer. With the phone plugged into the computer, I went to Sync and "Configure Universal Access." Can't remember what I did there -- maybe just disabled voiceover (?) -- but it was something very simple and cured the problem immediately.
I'll have to learn about the "Genius" creature.
Thanks!
Thank you!!!! I was so frusterated over this same problem. I couldn't get the phone to scroll to find settings on the phone. The 3 clicks on home button worked!! 🙂

Yes, the solution is on the first page of this thread.
iPhone 6 with iOS8
I had that problem too. Turned the phone off and back on but problem persisted. Couldn't get phone to re-start.
Fluked a solution by pressing volume buttons. Don't know exactly what I did but I could have pressed both up and down buttons at the same time.
I have the same problem, How did you get the problem solved?
Did you read the thread?

Now what fun would that be?
I just said "Hey Siri."
"Shut up"
She said OK and went away.

The solution to the OP's problem would have been, "Siri, turn off Voice Over".
How to get Siri from saying each letter when typing from typing or texting?
That's not Siri. It's an Accessibility option. Go to Settings>General>Accessibility>Typing Feedback and turn everything off.
can't get Siri to stop talking
