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.
