Hi, first of all, by default, a three finger double tap will mute the
speech.  Another three finger double tap turns the speech back on.

No hunting around the screen is ever necessary.
This does not disengage Voiceover, it merely mutes the speech.
Standard Voiceover gestures are still in effect even though the speech
is muted.

To turn Voiceover off correctly, for example, to play one of the many
way cool games such as ZanyTouch, you need to configure the Home button
so that pressing it 3 times will unload Voiceover from memory so that
standard gestures will work.  Pressing the Home button again 3 times
turns Voiceover back on.

Go to Settings, General, Accessibility, Voiceover, and one of the last
items on this screen will be to configure the Home button as described.

Thanks.

Subject: [real-eyes] Turning voice over on and off

Someone was trying to explain to me an easier way to set and turn voice
over on and off. Currently whenever I inadvertently tap the wrong part
of the screen and the speech goes off, it's a really difficult task to
get it back on again. You have to keep tapping around until you tap just
the right portion of the screen. 
 
Is there a better way, and if so, how do you set it up and how does it
work?
 
Thanks,
Kim
