My iPhone 17 promax is stuck on the Speak Screen. I was investigating the Speak Screen capability and got stuck on the tutorial.

Hi there

Please try this

Tap the "X" button: If the Speak Screen floating menu controller is active, tap the small "X" or the arrow on the speech controller bar to collapse or close it.
Dismiss with a gesture: Try swiping up from the very bottom of the screen with two fingers to forcefully dismiss the reading engine.
Use Siri: Press and hold the side power button to wake Siri, and simply say, "Turn off Speak Screen"or "Turn off VoiceOver" (in case VoiceOver mode accidentally got activated instead).
