s> Some of the words are not read out clearly,

s> I guess, the character "F" and "l" is not detected for the screen reader

The package cmap should be able to prevent this problem:  it tells PDF
that the ligatures fl, fi etc should be interpreted as combinations of
letters fl and fi.

Can you check whether adding

\usepackage{cmap}

helps?

s> It has been observed all over the PDF. I have no idea.

s> Screen reader did not announce landmarks such as headings lists or quotes.
s> If some words are bold italic or underlined, then screen reader would 
s> have detect that for me.

This is something tagpdf is intended for.  It is still in the
experimental stage; I expect more progress soon.

s> I wish I could write captions for my images, but it is overflowing.
s> I do not have enough knowledge about it, so I'll be very grateful if you 
s> could suggest me how to do it.

I am not sure I understand the problem here.  Could you please
explain?

Good luck
