FWIW... I tried a bunch of your recommendations (thanks!), but ultimately just downloaded another calculator app. No more problems with a talking calculator and LastPass on AT&T with my Galaxy Note 4.

Same, I was wondering this the other day this is very annoying. I had on my headphones and was driving while using the calculator and since I had the volume set very low so I could barely hear it and I kept hearing when I would press buttons, very annoying.
calculator talk back issue resolved on my note 4.
disabled the s voice once. now no talk back from calculator even after re enabling s voice.

Just out of curiousity, wondering if this issue ever got resolved?
I never had this issue until 2 days ago, so I never really paid attention to this. Been using my calculator since I got it and it was quiet.
Almost pooped myself when she yelled at me in the doctor's office, trying to calculate something.

Like many others I'd used calculator several times with no sound and now all of a sudden my Verizon Note 4 is talking back. At a very high volume too. Even when I mute or vibrate my phone it still talks back. I tried all solutions in this thread, nothing worked.
Solution I'm using for now is Llama event app. Llama is similar alternative to tasker app that someone mentioned earlier but IMO much easier to learn and use than tasker. I just added a calculator event that sets media volume to 0 when I open calculator app. Problem solved.
FYI, if you also use Runkeeper, it does a similar annoying high volume 'activity started' and 'activity ended' talkback at the beginning or end of use. I also use Llama to intercept and turn the volume to 1 on that app. Don't need to blast to everyone that I just walked X miles in X minues at X pace at a high volume when I start or stop the app.

I solved the problem by downloading the MyScript Calculator.
It's a pretty fitting app for us Note 4 owners.

How ironic. I made a comment earlier today about the calculator issue and how I fixed it with Llama. Then saw that Verizon had a software update today to fix various issues and improvements. I downloaded the update and looks like the calculator issue has been fix by verizon/samsung. I deleted the Llama event and there's no more high volume talkback sound when I use the calculator now.
So, at least on Verizon N4, update your phone to fix this issue.

I turned off Du Battery saver from services (under accesibility) and it stoped talking.
I don't think is a Carrier or 3rd party software issue, it looks like something in the accesibility section screws with the calculator.

Weird. Thought the Verizon update fixed mine as there was no talkback after the update but now calculator is talking out loud again even with mute or vibrate. Looks like it's back to Llama event control for me.
I had pushbullet installed and on when this bug popped up out of nowhere last night two days after I installed the Verizon update. I started messing with settings and the phone froze to the point I had to pull the battery and do a factory reset. Nothing else got my phone to work. I also had greenify installed previously but hadn't used it yet. After the reset I loaded all my apps up except greenify and pushbullet and the phone seems fine. When I checked under services in Accessibility, nothing is listed now but I remember pushbullet was there previously. After reading everyone's posts I turned S voice off and on and the calculator is fine. I did not actually use s-voice yet. Going to stick with google to avoid this issue.
Not sure if it's related but another bug popped up this morning. Took phone off charger, noticed it was beeping at intervals of about 10 seconds, drove me crazy, saw that there were no notifications and oddly enough, it said the phone was charging when it wasn't. Then I watched my battery drain very fast with no services running. I didn't get a screen shot but the battery status screen showed the green charging bar in a series of blips probably corresponding to the intermittent beeps all this off the charger! I did a full memory cache wipe, rebooted, and it was fine. There was no way in hell I was doing Factory reset again twice in 24 hours. Been using phone all day with no beeping and battery drain seems normal. Anyone else seen or heard of this with Touchwiz or Note 4?

After reading suggestions on here, I've been able to fix the issue on my Note 4 through Verizon. Mine was caused by Pushbullet under Accessibility > Services. Pretty weird and annoying bug, but I use the calculator far more than I use pushbullet and I didn't want to download a third party calculator because the stock one works with the pop up apps and frankly I don't need more third party apps on my phone than necessary. Hope this works for someone else.
To solve the calculator talkback issue, go to:settings/device/accessability/services. Turn off anything you have listed there
