I am running Android ICS/4.0 on my Samsung Nexus S (Sprint)
Just recently, Text-to-Speech (TTS) has "turned on" whenever I use my stock Android browser (and only in my browser.) Also, I am seeing an orange rectangle highlighting links that I select. All this is also slowing down the browser.
What I tried:
- I checked under System settings/Accessibility and "TallkBack" is OFF.
- I disabled TTS under "Manage apps" and that stopped the the voice from reading the text on the pages I visit but links I select are still being highlighted and the browser is still running slow (so not a good solution.)
- I downloaded a new browser (Chrome) and TTS is coming on when I use it too.
Other info:
- I am able to manipulate the "speech" under System settings/Language & input/Text-to-speech output, but can't turn it off there.
- Recently I did install Adobe Flash Player 11 so I thought for some reason that could be the issue. I uninstall Flash and no change. After uninstalling Flash, I uninstalled and re-installed Chrome (rebooting in between) and still no change.
At this point I am at a loss why TTS turned on when for my various browsers and can't figure out how to turn it off. Any ideas???? And no, I did not install any other apps recently that can somehow impact this.
Thanks in advance.
