    There is a blue circle with a white speech bubble in it and I cannot delete it. If I tap it, it turns grey. It talks in a different language. I can move it around but cannot get rid of it. It is on top of everything, every screen. I have a Samsung S4. Please help!

    Welcome to the forums. Try this. Go to your accessibility settings and make sure that 'select to speak' is switched off.

    I have this same problem but I have an s5, there doesn't seem to be a 'select to speak' on my accessibility settings page. Please help!

    Welcome to the forums. Can you post a screenshot including this icon? Also, see what options are enabled in the different sections of your accessibility settings.

    It is the grey circle with a white speech bubble in the middle.

    Yeah, that's the 'select to speak' icon. Maybe the name is different in your device or Samsung buried the option in a different section. Try this, open your settings, tap the search/magnifying glass top right, type 'select to speak' and see if it gives you the option.

    If it doesn't work check all your accessibility options and sub-menus.

    Settings>Apps>General>Accessibility>tap on Touch Assistant and turn off.
    Tried all other tutorials and never got anywhere. Tried to get rid of it ( floating icon ,circle with stick figure)this morning on my own and it is gone. Someone told me it will reappear when you get updates.
