Supports for screen readers on Android

[makhlwf]

Hello, I am using Android
I have poor eyesight, but it is not very severe, but I need to use talkback in interfaces that have elements and small icons, and I found that godot does not support dealing with screen readers
I really hope to support that, even if in a small way, believe me, it will mean a lot to me

• Add accessibility/screen reader integration to the base UI components #1964
• Improve accessibility features for keyboard navigation, UI scaling, TTS, voice recognition, colorblindness and subtitles #983

This is a really important feature I agree, but it can be hard to add because of how many different platforms we support, it has to work for Windows, macOS, Linux, etc.

There is work being done on getting it to work for some platforms using AccessKit, see here:

• Implement screen reader support using AccessKit library. godot#76829

(I hope you can access the links above, if not please say and I'll try and add them in a more accessible way)

Sorry if my question was weird or offensive, not experienced with screen readers myself and unsure how accessible GitHub is :)

Currently, AccessKit supports desktop platforms only (support for Android, iOS, and Web is planned, but I do not think there's any timeline for it at the moment).
