Description

TTS doesn't work if TalkBack is enabled, this leads to a poor accessibility experience for partially-sighted users.

This one probably needs a lot of upfront design to get working nicely. Likely want to get a few opinions from affected users.

Contributor guide

Research direction
Investigate how TalkBack and TTS interact in Android; design a solution that allows both to work together without conflicts. Consider using AccessibilityNodeInfo and TextToSpeech APIs, and consult affected users for feedback.
