Unable to turn of 'Read notifications aloud' - options are grayed out

This started on it's own on Samsung Galaxy S5 and I don't know why. When I get an incoming call or a text a computerised voice announces, "Incoming call from home [or whomever]".

I've found what must be the setting, under the "Language and input" category, "Read Notifications Aloud." But when I click on that, I get this screen where four options are checked, and they are all grayed out so that I can't change any of them:

I certainly did not intentionally turn this feature on. It has been happening for a long time and is both annoying & embarrassing! Despite all my searches and suggestions offered in forums none of these have worked on my phone. I just can't find out to untick those options which are grayed out.
Anyone have any ideas? Please help me...........
 
Welcome to Android Central! It's not in Car Mode, is it? Or if you go to Settings>Accessibility, ​is TalkBack on?
