How can I disable voice over from my ipad while it's locked? I accidentally activated it on my mum's ipad and now she's panicking! Haven't been able to put in her password so a little bit of help asap would be appreciated. Tried double tapping the passcode in but still didn't work! Thanks

How did you turn it on, via Settings or a triple-click of the home button ? You could try triple-clicking the home button and see if that turns it off, and if it does you can then change what a triple-click does via Settings > General > Accessibility > Triple-Click Home.
If that doesn't turn it off then you can either turn it off directly on the iPad (you need to use a tap-to-select and then double-tap to activate/type process and 3 fingered scrolling ; so to type a digit of the passcode tap the digit so that it gets a box around it and then double-tap it to type it) to go into Settings > General > Accessibility and turn VoiceOver 'off', or you can do it by connecting to your computer's iTunes : http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4064

It's similar for iPhones, but whether you can turn it off via a triple-click of the home buttons depends upon whether that's what you've got a triple-click set to do . If you haven't then you need to use 3 fingers to scroll up/down the screen and tap-to-select double-tap to type/activate to turn it off e.g. to unlock the screen tap the 'slide to unlock' text to select it (it should get a box around it), and then double-tap it to do the sliding (and to enter your passcode tap the digit to select it and then double-tap it to type it).
Never mind... just found the answer here: I used the "Turning Off VoiceOver From Your Device" option. The selecting and taping technique was challenging but when mastered finally worked! Thank God!😊
How do I disable voice over from my iPhone while it's locked?
ok... I was trying to activate the voice over for reading a file in ibook. Not only it did not work but I can't use my 5c at all. In order to use my phone I need to unlock my screen with my password. When I try to slide the "unlock my screen" the voice over kicks in and does not allow me to proceed. I already tried clicking 3 times the home button and the above instructions given to reneeh7 for his/her iPad... I guess it works different for iPhone . Please help!!!
TThanks!mthis worked for me!
Yes you are right! It worked, thx for your quick response
Thank you very much....you saved my sanity!
