I had this happen to me today when trying to place a call. My phone freaked totally out and no matter what I tried, I could not get Voice Over to work. I had to reboot the phone and even then I had trouble getting Voice Over back. Somehow or another after a little wait, it fixed itself. I sure hope this gets fixed soon. The call I was trying to make had to be made at a certain time and I was just unable to make that call for about 5 minutes. I know bugs are a norm, but it just seems like they rush out these updates just because a new version of the iPhone is released. I knew I should not have updated so quickly, but I was eager to get the Silence Unknown Callers feature that comes with IOS 13. This has definitly taught me to wait a while when another update is released.

Provided you have your accessibility shortcut set for VoiceOver, recovery is pretty simple. Click the home button three times quickly if your device has one. If not, do this with the action button on the right side of your iPHONE. You need to do this once to turn VoiceOver off completely and then again to turn it back on. This starts it fresh and it should work as normal. Sometimes, you need to triple click the home or action button a few times before VoiceOver comes back. Just be certain you leave a pause between sets of three clicks. Half a second's wait should do it. The danger here is that you may click fast enough so that five rapid clicks get registered. This activates the emergency SOS feature unless you go into settings and disable call using side button. If yOu disable this, you don't have to worry. Should you need to use emergency SOS and you've disabled the call using side button option, simply hold the side button and a volume button down for around a second and a half. A menu will pop up and you can either shut down or activate SOS mode. Hope this helps.

I don't get many calls, but when my wife called me back after us getting disconnected, I was not able to use the magic tap gesture to answer the call, and did not get any feedback from VoiceOver at all. I did not have to totally restart my phone though, I just restarted VoiceOver and everything was fine. I'm not sure how one would restart their phone if there was no speech at all. While this behavior was annoying and frustrating, I don't get many calls so I can live with it until Apple fixes the issue.
