Actual Result:

Voiceover remains silent while typing in the "Name" edit field. Characters are not announced, making it difficult for users to confirm their input.

Expected Result:

When a user types in "Name" edit field, Voiceover should announce each character as it is entered, enabling real-time auditory feedback for users relying on screen readers.

User Impact:

This issue significantly affects users with visual impairments who rely on Voiceover for text entry. Without character-level feedback, users cannot verify what they are typing, leading to errors and reduced confidence in form completion or text input tasks.
