No.

Describe the solution you'd like

NVDA should be able to speak characters in edit fields, but act like speak typed characters is off in other places. For example, NVDA could continue to speak characters in notepad, but in file explorer, NVDA will not speak the characters, even if speak typed characters is turned on. If the user wishes, they can select whether to have NVDA not speak characters, speak characters everywhere, or only in edit boxes. The INSERT+2 keystroke would be able to cycle between the 3, and the speak typed characters checkbox in keyboard settings would be replaced by a combo box to select which setting the user wants. This would go for speak typed words as well.

Describe alternatives you've considered

There is the typing settings addon that allows for this, but it isn't compatible with the latest NVDA.

Additional context

More often than not, we are not working in an edit field. In areas such as file explorer, It can be somewhat verbose when using first letter navigation because the characters are being echoed every time they move to a new item in say, a list or a combobox. The user would end up turning speak typed characters off, and potentially forget to turn it back on when inside of an edit field. My suggestion would eliminate that problem, allowing the user greater flexibility in how they want things echoed.
