How do I remove this floating tab from my iPhone? It always seems to be right in the way. When I click on it, it pulls up a text reader.

Hi JNethon01,


To clarify, you're hearing the on-screen text read aloud when you tap the arrow you showed, correct? We recommend starting by double-checking Settings > Accessibility > Spoken Content to see if you have anything turned on there, as that would be the most likely explanation: Hear iPhone speak the screen, selected text, and typing feedback - Apple Support


Let us know if that helps. Have a good one.
