Thank you. Since I do not currently read books in ibooks, I’ll be turning off this feature.

With the feature turned on, placing focus on the topline status bar on something like time followed by a two finger swipe down will place the speech bar smack in the middle of the screen and start speech. The speech bar covers most of the screen from left to right and is about half an inch tall. It contains a number of controls and has an X in its upper right corner to exit it. Jonathan Mosen did a podcast explaining the speak screen feature a couple of years ago.

The speak screen feature can be useful for reading books in iBooks with the screen locked, but the speaking bar can definitely get in the way the rest of the time. If Speak Screen is on, you can start reading the screen with the controls on the speaking bar or ask Siri to read the screen. If you're in iBooks at the time, you can lock the screen once the page starts reading. Use the speech screen in Accessibility Settings to set the voice and speaking rate for this feature.
