That sounds hilarious, sorry. As far as I saw, the only options for talking were in the extended options of language and input in settings. I'll dig around and see if I can find something. I'll definitely want it disabled myself.
I noticed this today at the worst possible time in a middle of a meeting. Can't find an option to turn it off.
Went through there as well ,unless I'm not checking something correctly... could you check your calculator app and tell me if your having the same problem?
Just got this phone and never messed around with any of thoose kind of settings anyways.

Did you give any app pemissions in accessibility. If you did read this image i attached. When you give some apps permission Samsung has some issues sometimes with the voice kicking on but Samsung actually had a work around built right into the phone.
Have recreated your problem just do the work around which the phone does for you.

This is how I shut off mine. Under Accessibility if you have anything under Services, turn them off. I had Greenify on and it made my calculator talk, but once I shut it off, calculator stopped talking. Hope it helps.
Found this page with people having same issue. Seems like tmobile and att is the pattern. Tmobile here. Greenify not installed. Double checked all my settings too.

You have to click on the settings button thats below whatever app you would have given permission look at my pic i posted you will see the settings listed at the bottom but since you say you didn't do that then there is no workaround. Did you turn on a app you didn't necessarily had to do it in accessibility some apps will just do it automatically. Can you tell me what apps you may have installed that help with battery or after market lockscreen just anything you can think of

Neither
NOTE 4
On my phone, it was caused by activating Greenify in the accessibility settings. When I did that, I got a popup telling me that my default language didn't match TTS. It offered me options of canceling, going to settings, or enabling TalkBack. So, for some reason, activating Greenify activates TalkBack. Voila. Talking calculator.

why the hell would he do that? factory reset would be an absolute last resort.... and i have no idea why the hell you think installing apex would help him?
OP do you have google now enabled?
first thing i would do is disable data and disconnect wifi - make sure it is an app trying to fetch data that is causing the problem, if that turns out to be the case then simply stop all apps from syncing automatically and reenable a few at a time until you capture the problem one.
check out whether your GPS is being used too - google now would use your location and fetch data a lot, my money is on it.

Is this Google Maps navigation, or some other maps app?
The Note 2's settings let you choose between text-to-speech by Google or by Samsung. Does the Note 3 have those options too? Which option are you using?

Wouldn't it be easier to explain then? I saw that mention of downloading one I would love to know what that is. I searched googleplay and didn't seem to find what I was looking for.
As Gary02468 mentioned, you have to go to the TTS settings in Language and Input. Then click on the settings on the Samsung TTS Engine and then download voice data. I guess in my mind what needed to be done was obvious.

Maybe it is an issue with my phone I go in the to the Samsung text-to-speech engine, go to install data, choose English High Quality, hit play sound exactly like what I want, hit download and nothing happens. It never changes to the high quality voice.

I don't think this is actually solved, at least not what op was asking for. OP was wanting the original Google TTS that is excluded from the phone's firmware for some reason. The fix that you see above was addressing someone else's issue not being able to download the high quality version of samsung's tts engine.
Yea I hope theres a way to add google's tts in the near future as well.

I am the OP and what I really wanted was to get rid of the terrible, robotic sounding voice. The Samsung HD voice works great for me so I changed the title to "SOLVED". If you guys want to make another thread on how to download the Google TTS that's cool, but as far as my issue is concerned, it's fixed.

On the old O.S. for this watch, when i tapped the screen I got the 'speak now' app which allowed me to easily navigate or get information while driving. Now, after the upgrade, i get the app drawer and have to scroll the 3rd page to get to it. Not very convenient. Anyone know how to set the speak now back to the default?
thanks

This works, just not as well and as fast. hopefully someone hacks it to make it default again.

Do you mean the ability to pick apps to hibernate? If so, that has been around for a few months already and showed up like 3 or so updates ago.

Is this the same as smart manager? I dont have anything in my battery settings that does anything.
This is a different type of setting it looks like. That's not a hibernation. Not sure when it does, optimizing the apps . But new settings are always welcome
Hello all,
Back in KitKat (I think), google's default app for phone/contacts had the option to only display contacts with numbers. (great idea!)
For reasons beyond anything I can imagine, they stupidly removed this feature. (Horribly stupid idea...sigh)
Is it possible to run the older phone app/contacts app on newer roms? 7.0?
I like the stock app. Fantastic app, excepting for the horrible stupid decision to break needed functionality by Google.
Thoughts? Options? Ideas?
Thanks!
Just a thought you could find the apk from KitKat and then install that. If it works. Use something like titanium backup and long press on the app from within TB and select remove market link. This should prevent the app from auto updating. Haven't tried it but i agree. The contact with phone numbers only was great.
