Hi Saqib
No idea whatsoever what happened. One minute the spirit level was going
fine, then we hit silence. I did the usual things to check, but nothing
seemed to work. I put the iPhone on my Mac, and VoiceOver was checked in
the accessibility option. Eventually, I tried headphones, and got speech,
but nothing if I unplugged them. I did a continuous read, and played with
the volume until I struck gold! I have never seen that happen before, but at
least I have discovered a couple of new things to try if it ever occurs
again.
Kind regards,
Jackie Brown

Hi. Did you accidently tripple tap with 2 fingers? This mutes speech but
voiceover is still running and you have to perform the same gesture to get
speech back.
