You possibly touch the screen with three fingers when you were trying to get the phone out of your pocket, if it happens again just do a doubled tap with three fingers to turn the speech back on. If you do a 4 finger double tap on the screen it’ll start voice over help and you. Can practise all of the gestures, and then repeat the 4 finger double tap to turn off voice over help. And you can go into your settings to change how fast you can click the side button to turn voice over on and off. You need to do it fairly quickly but you can change this in settings.
