Description

Feature description When the terminal produces output and the screen reader is on, it should automatically read the output.

Reference implementation hterm does a pretty good job. I've enabled hterm's automatic reading in iSH (https://ish.app) and gotten a lot of positive feedback from blind users.

Contributor guide

Research direction
Implement automatic screenreader reading of terminal output by integrating Android's accessibility service or using hterm's approach.
