When using "Voice Access" in Windows 11, echo text inserted into document #17384

Description

@Qchristensen

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
