What benefits can we get from rooting the s4?
I know some features are missing like wifi widget and ocr. But what else can we hope to get by rooting?

Ad Free, using apps like Automate It, Titanium Backup to its fullest capabilities, and eventually, flash a ROM, remove bloat ware, etc.
Will I get features that Verizon removed like ocr detection and block mode if I root

if you root, you can install Root Call Blocker Pro. Really awesome powerful blocking app.

Is under accessibility. Is called talk back
Sent from my SCH-I605 (AKA NOTE 2)
Boy, you're on a roll today, huh?
Turn off talk back in accessibility options.
Sent from my SCH-I605 using xda premium
If talkback isn't enabled, it might be another issue many of us have encountered. Certain apps such as Liteflow and Popup Notifier, as well as others, can cause this behavior if they are enabled in Accessibility Settings.There is no cure other than uninstalling the app that isn't playing well.

Mine kept saying "unable to play video" when I would click on one after restoring from a titanium backup. I logged out and back in and it seems like it's working fine.

So, how did you get root? Did you start rooted on MI1 and then update to MJ7 (4.3)? If so, then that's already known - http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2504408
If you rooted a stock MJ7 device, I'm very interested in how,
Stock on mj7 used vroot n that's it

Ah vroot - the Chinese malware "root" program.
Please read http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2434453&page=6 - notice that the creators of this have no valid explanation why it modifies the registry and Internet Explorer configuration, and apparently why afterwards your phone is calling home to China for command and control.
Until there's a better explanation, I'd avoid this like the plague that it apparently is.

Just root it and pull out what you don't want.
Or go custom OS.

On a J3 I would just use CF Auto Root. Quick, easy, and free.
Do you homework first. Not knowing what you're doing could result in you bricking your phone, wiping your data, and so on.
