How to disable the Read Aloud feature?

PLEASE show us average consumers, with little choice beyond Windows 10, HOW to disable the "Read out Loud" feature."

NUMEROUS times each day I accidentally "trigger" it and have no options to rid myself of this spurious pestilence than by shutting down; thereby loosing all that I have laboriously typed into say....Gmail. 

It is a GIANT pain in the area of the body that harbors the locus of one's fundamental orifice. 

It would seem that disabling it should at LEAST be as easy as placing a small circular sticker over the little eye above the screen of my laptop,  which I suspect might be peeking at me even after disabling the "camera" feature. 

Cheers and blessings in Christ,

So, I called MS Accessibility support.  I was told that of Read Aloud is accidentally accessed you can shut it off by hitting the X button on the top right.  If it was the Narrator which was turned on, that is shut off by doing CTRL-Windows-Enter to shut off.  Can't be sure this works but putting it out there.

Considering the number of people who are posting questions about disabling the Read Aloud feature, maybe instead of telling us there is no option to do so you need to create the option to do so.  It is extremely annoying to have that disembodied voice popping up when the user is right-clicking for another purpose.  Fix it.
