How do I stop my phone from announcing when I receive text messages?

Since the most recent update, my phone now loudly announces "New message from ______________, to hear it say listen" every time I receive a text message, even if my phone is on vibrate. It used to only do this when I was driving or at "home", which I liked, but now it does it every time I get a text. Does anyone know how to change this without completely turning off Moto Voice?

I had this exact same issue with my Moto phone. It was announcing all my text messages whether I was at work, traveling or at home. I didn't think it was because of an update, but there has been so many things that happened to me in the past two weeks it was bit of a blur. I went into the Moto app and deleted my Home profile setting under the Assist option. Then I add the Home profile again. I don't recall if I deleted the Driving profile too and set it up again. It couldn't hurt to clear all of the options out and start fresh.

Make sure handsfree mode is off or check your notifications options in main settings. Also re-check Moto Assist options. Voice announcement or caller read-out may be enabled.

I was happy it worked for me. Some of the times it was announcing a message weren't convenient places. Thankfully I don't get a whole lot of messages in the first place.

Hopefully it works for you too.
