Go into system settings, language and input, read notifications aloud.

see if any if these boxes have a check mark in them. Also, make sure car mode is turned off. Get there by pulling down your notifications bar with two fingers, it could be a setting in there.

tap'n

I think from the above, the contacts will need to be marked as favorites.

Have you tried:
Settings
Accessibility
Answering and ending calls
Voice Control (turn this on)

Another thought...Car Mode does this as well.

I believe what you are referring to is called the Talk Back feature and it's part of the Accessibility functions...

step 1

Tap the “Applications" icon to open your Applications list on the Galaxy S5.

Step 2

Tap the “Settings” icon to launch the Settings app.

Step 3

Tap the “Accessibility” tab to open the Accessibility menu.

Step 4

Tap the “TalkBack” check box to mark the box. TalkBack is enabled. You can also tap the “Accessibility” check box to enable or disable all accessibility services.

Step 5

Press the Home key to save the settings and return to the home screen.


There is also the following possible solutions;

Setting>Accessibility>Answering/Ending Calls>Voice Control or:

Settings>Language and Input>Read notifications aloud or:

Accessibility > Vision > Talkback > Settings (at bottom) > Under Speech Category - Untick Speak Caller ID
