Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.

  1. In Windows 11, turn on Voice Access (search for it from start menu - Google told me I could use WINDOWS+CONTROL+S to start voice access but that actually starts the older Speech recognition which does basically the same thing but is older and going to be removed).
  2. Open Notepad
  3. Use Voice Access to type some text
  4. Use Voice Access to delete the last word

Note that at steps 3 and 4, nothing is read.

Describe the solution you'd like

NVDA should read the text which has been changed.

Describe alternatives you've considered

Additional context

This may be related to #10709 (about reading pasted text). The workaround suggested in that issue is to use the ClipSpeak add-on. That works for pasted text (as in that issue), but not for dictated text (as in this issue).

Using:
NVDA 2024.4
Windows 11 (64-bit) Version: 23H2, Build: 22631.4391

Hi,

I have tried implementing this a while ago to no success (so far). If I remember right, this will involve getting NVDA to work with UIA events coming from Voice Access window. however, as explained in #16862 and friends, this issue may stem from the fact that NVDA is not getting the correct window handle unless Narrator is also running.

Thanks.
