VO reads whatever is in the area you've highlighted with a touch. If it starts reading the call timer and did not do so before, this is because you touched, no matter how lightly, the call timer. Take the iPhone away from your ear to activate the touch-screen and move VO to another field either by touching a different area on the screen, or using a right or left flick. If you have headphones on, the touch-screen always remains active.
To silence VO, you can either do a three-finger double-tap to mute speech, or you can use a triple-tap of the home button to unload VO. Just remember to use the same gesture when you are finished with your call to get VO talking again.
