Description

Research direction

Start by locating the UWP/WinUI renderer code that creates the root framework element and handles the card's speak property. Check how the root element's automation name is currently set, then verify with the Narrator accessibility behavior when the adaptive card receives focus. Done means the speak value is exposed as the root automation name in both renderers.
