@jonnyandrew can you clarify this?

Verified with build in screen reader

Does this means we expects all the actions in the timeline menu being read by the screen reader?
Currently on EXI actions in the timeline menu aren't read in general (for any event).

[jonnyandrew]

I don't think we need to reverify any existing features with a screen reader here but perhaps we can check that the new timeline item doesn't introduce any problems, for example we could check:

• that we can traverse voice messages in the timeline with a screen reader
• that it's possible to add a reaction directly to a voice message from the timeline with a screen reader
• that the actions menu can be opened from a voice message with a screen reader

Apparently we don't have the voice over (aka screen reader) at all in the timeline menu. Do you have it on EXA?

[jonnyandrew]

Yeah on EXA the timeline menu does support screen readers. If it's not supported on iOS then we can't verify anything here but I think it'd be worth opening an issue about that.

It seems we need very little work to have it on EXI.
No need for an additional issue. Open directly a PR.

I've just tested this with a screen reader on Android. Long press (through double tap and hold) is not working on voice message items as it is with other timeline items.
