  • Accessibility bugs request narrator behavior that is not achievable given our existing schema and implementation. For example, the desire to read the FlightDetails card in such a way that the information about each end of the flight is grouped together.

Describe alternatives you've considered

  • Integrating our existing speak property into accessibility story for use by screen readers
  • More granular speak properties in order to allow AltText on individual non-image elements (TextBlocks, for example)
  • The ability to group elements for narrator to convey related information that appears connected to visual users.

Research direction

The issue is done only when the required schema and implementation changes for grouping related information and supporting more granular AltText are defined and implemented.
