Speak Screen not working since last update

I have an iPad Pro. Speak Screen has completely stopped working since I updated to 18.3.1. The speech controller will come up, but there is no speech no matter where I use it, and if I try to exit the speech controller, the x disappears but the controller stays up and uselessly sits there. I can still highlight content for it to speak, but it stops if I navigate away from the article/email/message etc

I have rebooted my iPad, toggled all the accessibility settings, and nothing seems to work.

iPad Pro, iPadOS 18

Seems best to send feedback to Apple ... although it won't help immediately, and they will likely not reply, your feedback is valuable. Your feedback will be carefully read and logged. If others have a similar issue, Apple can see which iPads and iPadOS versions are affected. We may see the issue addressed in an update.

(You could include a link to this discussion tread if you wish.)
