The VoiceOver is turned on and I can't turn it off. I tried to triple-click home to turn it off but it does not work. At first I could not select settings. It tells me what it is and to double click it to open it but it does not open. Finally, I'm in settings now and when I select general it does not give me to topics to turn it off. Any suggestions to resolve my problem?

I only saw it because I'm following this thread, since I posted in it 5 years ago. I applaud your desire to be helpful, but it would be much more effective if you find posts that have not been answered, or that have only one or two answers, where you can help the original poster. Also, that's the only way to get points; to have an original poster mark your answer as Helpful or Solved.
Perhaps if "solved' had been visible on the thread, I wouldn't have bothered. I'm not paricularly interested in getting a credit for solving an issue, just trying to be helpful. It was one of many links that came up when my daughters phone was stuck in voice over.
Hi Mamasgirl5858. Could you please describe what Siri is doing/saying? If it's not VoiceOver, which describes everything you touch, it could be one of the Speech features. See Settings > General > Accessibility > Speech.
Settings/General/Accessibility.
You will need to use 3 fingers to scroll to access certain menu items.

It's a matter of tap and then double-tap.Tricky, but it's the only option you've got.
General to accessibility. Then go down to Triple Click Home feature. Once you select Triple Click Home it will take you to the next page where you will need to select Toggle Voice Over. Now when you press the home key three times it will turn voice over on or off.
Thank you! I forgot that you had to use three fingers to scroll in voiceover. :-)
Just had the problem myself...freaked me out! System Preferences-Universal Access - voice over TURN OFF
Man, It took me 55 minutes to solve this stupid problem. Wasn't til I came here and read these comments that I was finally able to do it. Good grief. I too am freaked out. Don't think I could stand an iphone 4s or 5. OOH Siri talking all the time. I'd run over it with my car.
Thank youuuuuuu! Didn't know about the3 fingers thing. All freaked out!!!!

On my Mac it's: command-fn-F5
