Comment:

 Thanks, @navi161, for testing the PR!

 > The error is read by the Screenreader now however it reads the same
 error message thrice.

 Playground has a known bug where `speak` runs multiple times, but it
 executes only once when used outside the playground environment (this can
 be verified by running the PR locally).
 See: https://github.com/WordPress/wordpress-
 develop/pull/7944#issuecomment-2673977787

 > 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?

 As mentioned, this issue is specifically about adding `speak` events for
 upload errors. Right now, the `speak` events correctly reflect the
 displayed errors. If there's a decision to standardize these errors across
 pages, that should be tackled separately.
