One possibility is that you may have inadvertently changed the Voiceover

the rotor and so I don't want to assume you know something that you may
not have learned.
One of the choices which can appear in the rotor is

brand keyboard with an earlier iPhone 4s. It added about the phones
thickness and maybe half the phones wait. I just found that for as little as
I required a keyboard, the added bulk was not worth it.
