Hi there,
Yes indeed you can.
The best way would be:
When Voice Control and Assistive touch are both on you will see the floating AssistiveTouch button. It won't work with the "Show Numbers" command, however if you use "show grid" and select the grid where the AssistiveTouch button is, it will tap it.
However it is important to note, that a lot of the commands offered by Assistive touch can be done verbally with Voice control on, therefore you shouldn't really need the AssistiveTouch button with Voice Control on. Let me know what you are trying to achieve with the AssistiveTouch button and I will let you know if there is a way to achieve that task by only using Voice Control.
I hope this helps

There are voice commands as follows
"Rotate to Landscape"
"Rotate to portrait"
"Reboot Device"
For a full list of commands go to:
Settings>Accessibility>Voice Control>Customise commands
Select a category e.g. "Device"
You will then see a list of commands available in Voice Control
PS I could not get the "Rotate..." Commands to work on my phone - but wasn't sure I was using in the right places - maybe you will have more luck. Let me know if it works for you.
Can you give more information on what you want to use in the assistive touch menu?
You should be able to execute the commands in the Assistive touch menu directly without having to tap on the button.
I tap the button to give me the option to restart the phone, or unlock/ Lock rotation...
If there is a way to do this with voice control, I am all for it so teach me!
