Cell phones are used more for music streaming, audiobooks, internet browsing, and emails than they are for making a simple phone call. In general, if screen readers see Android Studio as a Windows with a title with no elements inside, it is because Java Accessibility is not configured properly, either on the JDK/JRE side, or on the Screen Reader side.Cellular devices have taken the world by storm and have extended far past the reach of making phone calls.

Ensure the 'Support screen readers' checkbox is checked.Go the 'Appearance & Behavior > System Settings' entry.Open the 'Settings' dialog via the 'File > Settings' menu item.Android Studio must be configured to support screen readers.Android Studio 2.2 (or later) is required.
