Thank you Christopher for this description. It is the best I've read
describing the differences of these features and when/why they might be used.
I didn't realize voiceover was still running, and gestures could still be used,
when using the three finger double tap.

To silence VoiceOver for a longer period of time, you can use a three finger
double tap to silence voiceOver. VoiceOver will still be running, so voiceOver
gestures will still be in affect, but VoiceOver won't say anything. This is a
toggle, so just do a three finger double tap to get voiceOver
Marty:
To temporarily get voice over to stop, just do a single two finger tap
anywhere on the screen.
Don't double tap, or you will disconnect the phone call. Just tap two
fingers once on the screen. When you start moving your fingers on the
screen again, voice over will start speaking
