dropdowns in apps built with gradio are not accessible for screenreaders

[VIPPotato]

Describe the bug

All apps built with gradio I've used so far have this issue. When using a screenreader such as nvda:
https://www.nvaccess.org/
There is an issue which makes it unable for blind or visually impaired screenreader users to choose something from dropdowns in gradio UI.
The list is being presented as an editable field, so a place where the user should input text. When pressing up and down arrows to change the value, the screenreader only announces the current default value, while below a list appears which can't be focused with the keyboard or the screenreader can't see it.
This makes blind people like me unable to select anything from lists like voice models in applio or even the interface language, same with other gradio powered apps like audiocraft plus, whisper UI etc.
