Somehow I think Talkback got turned on and so every time I type the phone says the letter back to me and then the whole word at the end of the word. This is is extremely annoying and and I have gone into the setting for Talkback and it is off. I wish there were a way to call Samsung.. Best Buy had told me to go to Samsung office in the West village in Manhattan and I went there yesterday and they've been closed during the pandemic. I have the S21 Ultra. Help?

Sounds like your speak keyboard input out loud is switched on. Samsung keyboard? Go to settings, general management, samsung keyboard settings, swipe touch feedback, second to last toggle turn it off.

I would have Samsung Technical support Rescue app my Device and have them see what's going on. It's easy to make things worse. Lol Samsung Technical support with their Rescue app can fix any Device..
