While I'm not an impaired user, I use TTS since when I have a chest / command block / etc. UI open, I cannot see chat, thus I may miss someone trying to get my attention.
Confirmed that TTS for UI and for Chat Messages have been fixed in the current Beta 1.17.30.20.
Tested on Android 8.1 on LG Q6.
Still affects regular release 1.17.11 (android). Surprised this was not resolved in this update. Accessibility issue bugs should always have top priority.
Although this has been fixed in the beta versions, it is still present in 1.17.11, which, as the stable release, is the version played by the majority of players.
I concur that this issue does indeed affect windows 10 minecraft and that the GUI reader works but not the Chat reader...
As of the 1.17.10 minecraft bedrock update, the chat text to speech accessibility setting appears to be broken on Android 11 LG V60 also tested on Android 10 LG GX8 with same results of text to speech not working.
All was fine before the update. All setting toggles and volume levels have been confirmed to not have changed only the functionality has stopped in the app.
Tested on windows 10 as well. Only if Text to Speech for UI is active will the app read chat text on windows pc bedrock. If just turned on for chat text, it will not read the chat feed. Same results when texted on Android 11 on Samsung Galaxy Tab S5e.
Hope this is addressed ASAP with a hotfix. As a special needs user, this feature is VITAL.
