Problem

No audio feedback for screen readers when changing the slider value.

Description

Screen readers should get feedback about the current position of the slider when using the left/right arrows, e.g. ‘0 minutes 12 seconds of 3 minutes 43’. The exact wording should be run by a screen reader user for preferences.

Additional context

Reported by Joe Dolson (https://make.wordpress.org/openverse/2022/09/07/frontend-release-v3-4-8-and-a-call-for-a11y-testing/#comment-95)
More details:

In testing, on a small percentage of tests, Enter moved the slider value instead of opening the audio page. I was unable to reliably reproduce this, so I’m not sure what was going on.

In NVDA/Firefox, the value ‘0:00’ was read as “midnight”. This appears to just be how NVDA interprets that pattern. I’m not sure there’s a good solution to that.

Implementation

  • 🙋 I would be interested in implementing this feature.

Changing this to a fix rather than improvement to reflect that it's a bug in the accessibility of the site.
