Problem with automatic reading of text from images in iOS 11.3?

iOS and iPadOS

Last night I updated to iOS 11.3 and now text found in images (such as unlabeled buttons in apps for example) is no longer being recognized and read aloud by voiceover. I double checked and I have that setting activated in VoiceOver settings. Is anyone else having these problems?

So it turns out this problem seems to be intermittent. Sometimes VoiceOver recognizes and reads aloud recognize text and other times it doesn’t.

Guess it’s just me?

Well, nobody has responded so I’m guessing this was just an isolated issue only I was experiencing. If anybody does encounter it, I found a reliable solution. Triple click the home button to turn off and then restart voiceover and recognized text starts getting read once again.
