Google now won't read the contents of lists
Do you have Google Talkback Installed and activated?  This utility is meant specifically to help blind users interact with Android.  If you have not installed, configured, and tried out Talk back yet I highly suggest it for the visually impaired.  It installs as an accessibility service so it can be run system wide, and you should still be able to utilize whatever other methods you are already comfortable with while adding this one to hopefully help fill in holes like this one.
