That's true, it is! It's an issue with the icon in the Breeze icon theme; moving there.
Comment 2 hottog 2025-05-09 07:19:51 UTC
It might be because the microphone icon usually has sound waves on the right of it. The space for those is left empty on this icon. 

To be honest, the microphone isn't the appropriate icon for a screen reader. Maybe a different icon should be used, like a screen with sound waves or something.

Correct 22px audio-input-microphone being off-center

The 16px version is centered, but the 22px version was not. I suspect
this is the result of copying the microphone shape from the status icon
versions, which intentionally have it off-center to accommodate sound
waves. This version has no sound waves, so center the microphone shape.
FIXED-IN: 6.15

kcms/access: change icon for Screen Reader entry

The current icon is a microphone, which isn't really a good fit for this
page as no one is actually talking into a microphone.

We have a semantically perfect icon: text-speech. Let's use this.
