Hi, To clarify, it's a three-finger double-tap on the iOS screen to mute/unmute speech. Not a three-finger triple-tap. The three-finger triple-tap toggles scree curtain on/off. Later... Tim Kilburn Apple Teacher (with Swift Playgrounds Recognition) Jamf Certified Associate Fort McMurray, AB

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

Was the phone still making the other noises associated with voice over? If it said speech off then all you need to do is a three finger double tap on the screen to turn it back on. It is not turning voice over off, it just muted the voice. > On 19/09/2019, at 1:14 PM, Angus MacKinnon wrote: >
