Hi there Bettyxl,


To confirm, you turned off Voice Over, but you are still hearing Voice Over from your iPad Air, correct? We want to make sure we fully understand what you're encountering with your iPad Air.


If that is correct, you can see if restarting your iPad Air may help. Restarting can refresh the iPadOS and help resolve issues. If needed, below shows how to restart.


"How to restart an iPad without a Home button

  1. Press and hold either volume button and the top button until the power off slider appears.
  2. Drag the slider, then wait 30 seconds for your device to turn off. If your device is frozen or unresponsive, force restart your device.
  3. To turn your device back on, press and hold the top button until you see the Apple logo."


Those steps are from this article, along with steps for how to restart with a Home button (if needed): Restart your iPad - Apple Support Please let us know how that goes.


Take care.
