Turn off Voice Control in iOS 5 on iPhone 4

I had an interesting but frustrating problem where I accidentally turned on voice control over. Whatever I did, I was unable to turn it off. I could not use my fingers to move around the screen, etc. The important thing is to know that a single finger will now do what needs to be done.

Easiest Solution

According to a comment by anonymous (Thank You!), you can press the home button three times to disable it. Easy!

Initial Solution

To turn off voice control, go to Settings, General, Accessibility and VoiceOver. Turn it off. To help with how to actually navigate, read about VoiceOver and watch a video on the page.
