VO stops speaking at random times

I have been having an issue where VO just stops talking for no apparent reason. If I try turning VO off and on again, it turns off, but won't come back on unless I reboot the phone.
This has been happening quite a lot over the last while. I am using ios 9.2 with an iphone 6.
Is anyone else experiencing this? Any ideas about how to avoid it?
Thanks,

Louise

Do you remember what tasks you are performing when voice over crashes? I know there are a couple of documented bugs that temporarily freeze up voice over for some time. I'm wondering if you are running into these bugs, or if its a completely separate issue. It happens after you respond to an email and send it voice over will lock up for awhile. There is one other documented bug similar to this as well, but I cannot remember it off the top of my head.

Hi:
It doesn't seem to be specific to any particular task. In fact, it doesn't do it when I send mail or text messages.
It even did it in the middle of the night when I wanted to unlock the phone and turn on Audible.
I'll try and see if it does it with any kind of pattern over the next few days. Maybe if I'm more observant, I'll notice something.
On the other hand, I just upgraded to the 6 s, so it might stop with this phone. Do you know if there's a difference with the faster processor in the new phone?
Thanks,
Louise
