Voice activation won't switch off

Hello all,
I'm a bit of a technophobe and could really do with some help from some good people:-)
I have the blackberry Q10 and actually loving it and find it quite easy to use to be fair.
The only thing is, when it's in my pocket a few buttons must get pressed and it asks if I want to 'agree' to activate voice control. usually I just press 'I don't agree' and it's then ok. Yesterday though, it had activated the voice control and now it won't switch off. Every time I press any app on the screen the woman's voice just tells me what I'm pressing but doesn't actually go into the app. I can't do anything. I can't call, text, go on the internet or even get into setting to switch this off. It just keeps talking.

Any ideas, anyone? :yes:
Thanks in advance.
Paul

Did u ask her politely to turn off?

Have you tried a battery pull?

Tap the power button 3 times quickly.

I believe you've accidentally turned on screen reader mode
