How to turn off VoiceOver?

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?

The absolute BEST and FASTEST and EASIEST way on the MacBook is to hit "command F5." Command F5 turns it on and command F5 turns it off. The terrible program makes it difficult to follow much of the advice above because of how it interferes with what you are trying to do on screen. Pressing "command" and "F5" simultaneously turns the silly program off. I was just terrorized by the program myself. So much for an easy way to have the computer read text aloud!!
