Andy, You said: Do you mean that I'd press the home button for a few seconds, until I hear a tone then say something like "Serie, turn voice over on" or whatever.
Not exactly. Press and Old the home button while you tell SIRI something, then release the home button to allow SIRI to respond.

I never mentioned a 3 finger triple tap. I didn't know of it's excistance. What I meant to say is that I used to press the home button 3 times rapidly to disarm voice over and 4 times to turn it back on. This allowed my sighted wife to help me create a new contact for example. I'm not sure how by simply turning the volume of voice over up or down would be of help in any circumstances and would still burden the sighted person by it's interference. Incidentally, time mentioned Serie for turning voice over off and on. Do you mean that I'd press the home button for a few seconds, until I hear a tone then say something like "Serie, turn voice over on" or whatever. Thanks guys for any assistance.
