Thank you for taking the time to write to them.
the guy suffers from a progressive case where the motion of his hands
become weaker and weaker over time. he reached a point where he can
barely move his fingers. This limited movement does not allow him to
control the screen through touch gestures.

Hello,
Thank you for your reply. In your initial email, you mentioned Switch
Control, which does have a Speech setting. If you meant to refer to
Assistive Touch, this feature can be used with VoiceOver if they are
both enabled. If you could provide more information about the user’s
current configuration and what they would like to do, we may be able
to offer some more specific suggestions.
Sincerely,
Apple Accessibility

This is interesting.
There is no speech setting in the assistive touch settings.
It could be they meant go to the accessibility settings, speech, and
turn on speak selection, and speak screen, and select the voice you
want to use for that.
It could be that if you do that, and have a switch control, it will
speak as you move around, but their directions are rather poor.

Hello,
Thank you for your email. In order to use Switch Control with
speech, please go to Settings > General > Accessibility >
Assistive Touch > Speech to turn the feature on and select which
voice to use. More information is available here:

The Switch controls that would allow someone to use an external device to
run the iPhone can not be used at the same time as VoiceOver.
So, blind people with limited hand movement are out of luck right now.
We just discovered this at my work.
Please, everyone write, or call, Apple Accessibility and point out to them
that there are a lot of blind people who need the ability to use switch
controls.
