Hi Rakesha,
May I know if you found a workaround this issue? I find the same problem, in accessibility mode, my negative currencies are not being read with "negative", but only reading the currency amount. I want to know if this is a bug in android talkback?

I've also run into this issue. The best workaround that I can come up with (for web) is:
<span aria-label="minus"> </span>-$100
Note that the is required to ensure that Talkback still displays the visual indicator. I tested Talkback, Voiceover, NVDA & JAWS. Unfortunately this solution reads as "minus minus one hundred dollars" in NVDA, but it's the best I could come up with.
You can also use the HTML − entity, but currently this is unannounced in NVDA. I've reported that to them:https://github.com/nvaccess/nvda/issues/3805
That being said, this really needs to be fixed in Talkback. It's the only screen reader I tested that ignored the hyphen in this situation, and it's pretty important information!

This issue can occur in text-to-speech (TTS) systems because they might not recognize the minus sign (-) as a distinct symbol in this context, especially if it's immediately followed by a dollar sign. TTS systems may interpret -$100 as a single token rather than two

t seems that the issue arises from how TalkBack interprets symbols in different contexts. For currency amounts like - $1,000.00, the negative symbol might not be processed correctly, leading to the omission of the "minus" in the output. This could be due to TalkBack's parsing logic or how the currency formatting is encoded in the app.
To resolve this, ensure the app uses proper semantic annotations for negative currency values. Accessibility features like aria-label or localized screen reader hints could help guide TalkBack to interpret the symbol correctly.

Description
It works fine for negative number i.e -1000 it reads out correctly minus one thousand.
