Comment (by navi161):

 Thanks for reporting this issue @joedolson  @rishavdutta and thanks for
 fixing this @yogeshbhutkar!

 Further splitting the above reported issue into two parts:

 1. The one where the Screenreader isn't working - This is partially fixed.
 The error is read by the Screenreader now however it reads the same error
 message thrice. More details below.

 == Test Report
 This report validates that the indicated patch addresses the issue.

 Patch tested: https://github.com/WordPress/wordpress-develop/pull/8520

 === Environment
 - OS: macOS Sonoma 14.6.1
 - Web Server: PHP.wasm
 - PHP: 7.4.31-dev
 - WordPress: 6.8-beta3-20250321.090836
 - Browser: Chrome 134
 - Theme: Twenty Twenty Five
 - Active Plugins:
   NA

 === Actual Results
 - ❌ Issue partially resolved with patch.

 2. The other where the error is different for the same use case of
 uploading an unsupported file format from Media Library and Add Media -
 This is still seen. Not sure if this is fixed as part of this. Should we
 split it into a separate ticket as this seems to be a non A11y issue?

 Steps to reproduce:
 1. Go to Media > Library > Upload a file with unsupported format > observe
 the error text copy
 2. Go to Media > Add Media File > Upload a file with unsupported format >
 observe the error text copy

 Expected Result: Error text copy in both 1 and 2 should be the same
 Actual Result: Error text copy is different

 Screens and videos attached.
