If you have your voiceover shortcut set to where you can just turn it off and on that way, you could do that. Otherwise, tell Siri to turn voiceover off. Then tell Siri to turn voiceover back on. That should do it.This sounds like a recurrence of the annoying now you see it now you don’t bug where periodically, VoiceOver speech just decides to go away. In my experience, getting back to the home screen and waiting a couple of seconds brings it back. That’s on iOS 16. Before, when it was worse, I used to have to turn voiceover off and back on. That always worked. If you have your voiceover shortcut set to where you can just turn it off and on that way, you could do that. Otherwise, tell Siri to turn VoiceOver off.
