Use TalkBack for TTS events on Android

[CoBC]

Hi,
currently, Android only support TTS via the TTS API. A method (announceForAccessibility, introduced in API level 16) can allow usage of accessibility service like TalkBack to announce TTS events.
Using TalkBack to announce TTS events can allow users to easily interrupt the notification if necessary. I propose to add an option to allow users to use TalkBack instead of native TTS API, so the behavior will be the same as using Tolk on Windows for example.
What Android users think of that? @bear101 Do you also have any point of view of that?

It would be a very good enhancement.
Having announcements separate from TalkBack make them sometimes interfere between them.

Not all TeamTalk user using screen reader. Is better to add the option for it. Suggestion: Add an ability for TeamTalk to use an accessibility volume for the text-To-Speech event. Bug Report: For now, if user want to choose TTS that they want to use to read Text-To-Speech event, they need to connect to server at least once each time they open the TeamTalk. If user directly open the TTS selection without connect to any server at least once, the list will be empty. They will just have the cancel button there.

using tb for announcing notifications might be an option but not a replacement, because it won't announce anything when screen is off.

I agree with this.

@CoBC It would be nice to also have the option to choose full message or interrupt. You're welcome to make a Pull-Request with this new feature :)

@CoBC Are possible to add the speech rate also? User have an option to choose whether they want to follow the system settings or they can customize it. Same with the TTS engine selection, they have that option too. Thanks.
