Samsung phones have a known issue with speak engine that start speaking when accessibility services are enabled. To get rid of it go the Android Apps settings > All Apps -> Samsung TTS engine -> Disable. Samsung S4 Hack Install 3rd part TTS Engine like Classic Text-to-Speech, DO NOT install any language pack, then change it to be your default TTS engine on Android Device Settings -> Language and Input -> Text-to-speech output Why do I get a warning saying that this app collects my passwords and credit card numbers? This is a standard Android warning for every accessibility service, but you have nothing to worry about this app doesnt do anything evil, its open-source and you can browse the code yourself to see it. It even doesnt have internet permissions, so it cant send data anywhere. Why do the notifications not clear from the status bar when I clear it from the widget? Unfortunately Android less than 4.3 doesnt allow apps to clear notifications of other apps
