Janet, were you able to get voiceover speaking again?  Reading the messages,I 
got a bit confused.

I have found that occasionally voice over stops working. I just tell
Siri to turn voice over off and then immediately tell her to turn it
back on and then have voice over again.

It can’t be that, the mute switch doesn’t affect voiceover.

HI Jannet,

Have you tried a three finger double tap on the screen to see if the
speech has been turned off?

Or do a restart of your phone,

Probably the easiest way to do that is

Vol up, vol down and then power button and hold it for about 10 seconds,

It should hopefully do a restart for you.

And with luck you don’t ring them back

Or they may come around for coffee and doughnuts

Hi Everyone,

I was just sitting at my Computer, and I had my phone sitting on my
Computer desk, and for some strange reason my phone started dialing
911 emergency. 911 Emergency called me back 3 times, but I couldn’t
answer the phone. I used my Magic Jack phone to call 911 to let them
know I am ok. I tried to stop the Phone from calling, but I can’t
hear Voiceover. I pressed the volume button up, I tried 3 finger
tapping to turn Voiceover back on, but I still can’t hear anything at
all, except when I turn the phone off I can hear the sound when I
usually turn off the Phone, or when I plug the charger in to the
phone. I can’t get in touch with Siri either. I have an iPhone XR
with the latest iOS. Can someone please tell me what I might do to
get Voiceover to start talking.

Thank you all in advance.

Janet
