c/samsung · by Melatonin@lemmy.dbzer0.com · 1y

I was trying to use the Samsung keyboard and it started saying letters that I touched out loud. It wasn't talkback (turned off and disabled). When I switch to gboard it goes away.

It happened once before but went away I think when I restarted but now it's full time and persistent across restarts. I guess I'm going to have to use gboard which I don't prefer.

Does anyone else know about this that has an answer other than it's TalkBack. Because it's not.

In regular Android, there is a setting under "Sound & vibration" called "Dial pad tones". Do you have anything similar?

Edit: Or maybe they broke "TalkBack" in a recent update??

It isn't doing the behavior with gboard.

On the Galaxy there is no "Dial pad tones," but there is a system sound that has a toggle for Samsung keyboard.

It is turned off.

Welp. That was my only guess. Only other thoughts I have involve "force stop" the keyboard app and/or "clear cache/data".

Best of luck tracking this down!
