This task is not really actionable. Moreover, it proposes a technical solution instead of just stating the problem that needs to be solved. There may be better solutions, e.g. in the Notepad I decided to move the focus to the message widget that contains the result to make the screen reader read the result.

We can keep this ticket as parent ticket for tickets were some information/result/error is not announced to screen reader users.
