A sleep button shows up on my Mac recently, how to get rid of it?

I'm not sure what happened, but recently I found I have this button showing up. Does anyone know how to turn it off?

OS: 10.15.3 (19D76) Catalina
MacBook Pro 13inch, 2017, 4 Thunderbolt 3 Ports
Memory: 16GB
3.5Ghz

sleep button

You seem to have enabled the Dictation or Voice Control features.

You can disable it again by opening System Preferences > Keyboard. Select the "Dictation" tab, and ensure it is set to "Off".

Then open System Preferences > Accessibility. Select "Voice Control" (or "VoiceOver" in earlier versions) in the list on the left, and ensure that "Enable VoiceOver" is not selected.

After some research, looks like this is called Voice Control in macOS. This is how we can disable it

On your Mac, choose Apple menu > System Preferences, click Accessibility, then click Voice Control. De-select "Enable VoiceOver".
