Hi, can someone help me - I cannot find the option to turn off or on the spoken content controller. It used to be somewhere near Highlight control and I was able to do that before and now it simply disappeared. I have tried turning off all the options in Assessibiliry / Spoken Content and Assessibility / Assistive Touch but nothing worked. Many thanks! Pauline

Am no expert in this area, yet your request surely deserves some response.
Wondering if this short video can help you:

Many thanks for your help Alancito! I am not sure why my phone was not updated to 17.5 but I manually did that, and turned on the Speak Screen then it worked! NB. Apparently the iOS update seemed essential, because before doing that update, I still could not hide the controller even with Speak Screen on.
Thank you so much for your help!
Pauline.
Pauline ~ On iOS 17.5, the Speech Controller setting is between Speak Screen and Highlight Content. Is there a reason you haven't updated to 17.5?

Pauline ~ And as the YouTube video explains, the Speak Screen setting needs to be ON. Only then will the Speech Controller setting appear between Speak Screen and Highlight Content.
