screen reader pop out icon- can’t remove from screen

If I tap this black box with the > arrow on it, it opens a screen reader. But, how do I get it off my screen? It NEVER goes away.

Thanks for reaching out Zanna640,


It sounds like you might be using the Speak Selection or Speak Screen feature on your iPad Pro, but want to disable it. We can help.


You can turn off spoken content by tapping Settings > Accessibility > Spoken Content and turning off Speak Selection and Speak Screen.


You can follow this link to learn more about how to Hear iPad speak the screen, selected text, and typing feedback.


Hope that helps.


Take care.
