Hi my name is Olivia Kamlet. I was suffering your problem and I figured it out! You need to go to Settings>Accessibility>Speech> and then turn off anything which is on there. This will stop Siri from restating everything that you are typing. You're welcome!

It appears as though Voice Over may be turned on.


If VoiceOver is on and you want to turn it off from the device instead of from iTunes, remember that a double-tap acts like a single tap and you need to use three fingers to scroll when VoiceOver is on:


Press Home.

Tap Settings. Then double-tap Settings.

Tap General. Then double-tap General.

Use three fingers on the screen to scroll to Accessibility.

Tap Accessibility. Then double-tap Accessibility.

Tap VoiceOver. Then double-tap VoiceOver.

Tap "On" next to VoiceOver. Then double-tap "On" to turn it off.

For me, I was always embarrassed about auto correct that made my intentions wrong, so I only had that option enabled.


settings > general > accessibility > typing feedback > speak auto-text


its a great idea in theory, but I do a lot of texting late at night, and it can be jarring to suddenly have Siri say a word randomly. If she said it once it wouldn't be so bad, but I find she says it five or six times, so I've now turned it off. I'll risk the auto correct for a while and see what happens. Might have to turn it back on ...


anyhow, that could be a route, as there are a few options under typing feedback.
