Research direction

Start by locating the CT-Player audio-description flow and its use of react-speech-kit. Replace the spoken-output path with an aria-live region using assertive mode, then verify that newly generated audio descriptions are announced by a screen reader and are no longer spoken through react-speech-kit.
