Sandy- Did you in fact intend to write three finger Triple tap in the first instance and three finger double tap in the second? I haven't wanted to turn off VO completely while listening to music either, and your solution sounds like a good one. Cher

You will find it in Settings general, Accessibility. Here is an example of when I use them and how they are different. When I am running on the treadmill I use the three-finger triple tap for "speech off." That way I can listen to music without interruptions from notifications that my phone normally reads; yet, VoiceOver is still available to me if I double tap the back button or the phone rings and I want to use the usual VoiceOver gestures I am accustomed to. The other day I was with a sighted friend who forgot her cell phone and asked to borrow mine. Without thinking I handed it to her and she was bewildered because the standard gestures weren't working. I don't really understand the difference between how a sighted person uses the iPhone and how we do I just know it's different. So rather than explaining, I used triple click home to turn VO off entirely;; then she was able to use the phone in the way she knew. Another advantage to the three-finger double tap is that it saves wear and tear on the oft used home key.
