Hello Keith, I use a VoIP phone app called 3CX and when I first started using it a couple of years ago the dialpad was inaccessible, it would just say "button" for every number. In this case turning on screen recognition was a perfect solution as all the numbers and buttons like Call were read and I could use it.
I also have come across a few apps where a few screens with information were displayed after installing the app and before you got to a "Got It" or "I Agree" button. Unfortunately I can't remember the last one where I couldn't read this text but with screen recognition turned on I could. It is not something which you most likely need a lot, but it is a good tool to have available.

To have it show up in Quick Settings, you have to first turn it on under Settings, Accessibility, VoiceOver, VoiceOver Recognition. If it is not on there, it will not be in Quick Settings. I tested this by turning it off under VoiceOver Recognition and sure enough, it disappeared from Quick Settings. When I turned it back on in VoiceOver Recognition, I had to reboot the phone before it showed up again in quick Settings. Not sure why, but that is what I did. My recommendation is don’t have it in the rotor, but just in quick settings. There are other settings you may find it better to have in Quick Settings instead of in the Rotor. Once again to review, quick Settings is launched with a 2 finger quadruple tap. It functions like the rotor, but since you have to be more intentional about bringing it up, you won’t find yourself changing voice speaking rate when you wanted to jump by headings, etc. You can also enable Screen Recognition for specific apps once you figure out it helps in that app by going into VoiceOver Recognition, Screen Recognition and double tapping on apps, and selecting the apps for which you want it to default to on.
