For me, it was 12.3.1. Then, I plugged the phone into my computer with iTunes and tried toggling VoiceOver from there. No Go. I then updated to 12.4 using the computer. Still nothing but clicks and I confirmed, several times that voiceover was on and not muted. The last step was reset all settings, and it is now back.

I tried everything. Then, I had my sighted wife go in and reset all settings. When she turned on VoiceOver, it is now talking. I had to reenter passwords, reselect sounds/ringtones, display background, etc. But, it works now. Richard Arthur C.
