Voice Over

I was in settings & I think I switched Voice Over on. Now I can't scroll and there are black boxes around everything.

How can I get to settings and turn it off? Step by step please :(

Thank you in advance

Issues with dictation since updating to iOS 16.1.1 I'm so annoyed right now. Can someone please help me understand why every time there is an update, dictation stops working?? It used to be that I would hit the microphone and start speaking and Siri would type it out. Now I hit the microphone and it kind of highlights the microphone in grey then it turns off without writing anything. How do I use dictation now?? I took a screen shot of what happens when I push the button now...

iPhone Voice to Text punctuation not working - iOS 17 Update Has anybody else noticed that the punctuation when using voice to text is suddenly really terrible? I’m fully disabled with hand disabilities that make corrections not just difficult, but exceedingly painful, and suddenly voice to text is adding periods, where I don’t want periods, commas, where I don’t want commas, doesn’t capitalize the first letter on sentences, and is generally so much worse than it was before I updated. The update I currently have is 16.1.2. I need it to stop. 16.1.2 broke my home screen, my ability to stream on almost all of my streaming services through HDMI, and my ability to speak and have my iPhone translated into a legible sentence. the home screen is just annoying, but the other two are something that severely impacts the disabled community, and I am so disappointed in Apple. [Re-Titled by Moderator] dear Apple, please understand that this is not just an annoying bug, it is a bug that causes me severe pain from having to fix the problem, and strips me of my ability to communicate clearly if I don’t fix the problem. I was so grateful for voice to text before, but not now. please do something.

Tell Siri to "Turn off VoiceOver".
