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 > Accessibility Shortcut.


Or try using Siri to turn it off

 

Or you can turn it off by using a tap-to-select and then double-tap to activate/type process and 3 fingered scrolling to go into Settings > General > Accessibility and turn VoiceOver 'off'.


Or you can do it by connecting to your computer's iTunes (after typing in your passcode via the tap/double-tap process) : https://support.apple.com/kb/HT204390
