I would prefer a logic to have the current menu always speak no matter
if you enter or exit it,
and a config switch in the voice setting to disable menu announcement.

Seems more logical to me.

It might be nice to have feedback when pressing Select, since sometimes this takes you to the WPS, sometimes to the file management menu, and sometimes to the context menu, depending what you were doing.
