I was thinking that may have gotten in your way, but obviously not. Those settings are primarily for people who do not want VoiceOVer on all the time, but want to be able to have certain things read out loud. If someone has low vision and can manage the short things, but when it comes to longer emails, or web sites, speak screen allows them to swipe down with two fingers from the Status Bar and it will read aloud. Some people use this for Apple Books because once you get it started reading, you can lock the phone and it continues reading. You cannot lock your phone while VoiceOver is reading an Apple book.
The speak highlights again is for someone not wanting to use VoiceOver all the time, but they can highlight text and there is a speak button they can press and have it read out to them. Then there is the typing feedback setting. Even if those others are off, if the typing feedback is on for characters or words, it will speak those as they are typed with or without VoiceOver being on. The speaking rate here is supposed to just control the speech rate for these functions and should not affect VoiceOver. You may also want to go into the VoiceOver settings and change the default speech rate and see if that helps at all. I’ve never heard of the rotor being on speaking rate and nothing happening.

The speaking Rate option on the rotor is most definitely selected and, until recently, wAs working correctly. I am thinking that some weird setting somewhere needs to be modified but cannot imagine what it would be. I Am using an iPhone 8 with the latest version of iOs.
