Turning the phone completely off then back on again clears that up for me.

You didn't say that you turned off speak notifications in accessibility. So being both notification center and accessibility are both found under settings, this is one reason that I was confused. Secondly, if you havent taken all of the apps that you do not want notification alerts out of showing up in notification center, even though you have turned off speak notifications off in accessibility, notifications will still be spoken. So remove all necessary apps from the notification center by tapping on the app while in notification center and select to turn off sounds and the alert being shown on the lock screen. One would think that by turning off "speak notifications in lock screen," in accessibility, this would override any thing in notification center. Guess this is a bug of sorts.

I said nothing about going into notification center and that isn't what I did. I went into General > accessibility > Voiceover > show notifications in locked screen and turned it off. Shawn has it almost right; it doesn't announce the number of notifications when I am about to unlock the screen; it just periodically announces how many notifications I have and then after a few seconds says "screen locked". I don't know if it is doing this at intervals or whenever a new notification comes in or what is the trigger but it is very annoying and it is happening across all devices that I have set not to show notifications in locked screen. I hope this makes it clear. -- Cheryl I tried and tried to turn over a new leaf. I got crumpled wads of tear-stained paper thrown in the trash!

Not to sound rude, but if you read her message properly, that's what she did and Voiceover still insists reading the number of notifications when on the lock screen when she is about to unlock it. Is this right Cheryl?

But while the noffifications themselves are not now announced in my locked screen, my i-devices frequently come into the unlock screen in order to announce how many notifications I have. If this was not so annoying, it would be extremely funny! But if you don't want your notifications being announced, in many cases this also means you don't want the fact that you have notifications announced either! Without turning off all notifications, is there a way to stop this? Is there a setting that actually will not speak anything about notifications in the locked screen? I do realize that "do not disturb" would be an option, but then I'd have to have "do not disturb" turned on pretty much all the time. Thanks for any suggestions. -- Cheryl I tried and tried to turn over a new leaf. I got crumpled wads of tear-stained paper thrown in the trash!
