Yes, in my experience, the “speech off” message means VoiceOver is muted and you have to unmute it with one of the commands described in this thread. I do this with M-chord from a braille display.

If not, the only way I know to toggle without changing default voiceover settings is with the trackpad commander and three finger double tap.

It's definitely not a sound muting problem, as VO+F5 gives me speech for Voiceover Off, then a second time Voiceover On, speech off.

So, I'm unsure how I turned speech off in the first instance. Is there any way to control this in the terminal?
