Oh no, cause screen readers are dumb things. If you don't send them an announcement, through live regions or accessibility announcements on Android or iOS, they will not know that a response has been received. So, the user will just sit there and have to tap and tap to see when a response comes in. This is especially frustrating with streaming responses where you're not sure when streaming has completed. Gemini for Android is awful at this when typing to it while using TalkBack. No announcements. Claude on web and Android also do nothing, and on iOS it at least places focus, accidentally I suspect, at the beginning of the response. chatGPT on iOS and web are great; it tells me when a response is being generated and reads it out when it's done. On iOS, it sends each line to VoiceOver as it's being generated. AI companies, and companies in general, need to understand that not all blind people talk to their devices.

Sounds like I should reverse engineer the ChatGPT web app and see what they're doing.

dang, I was hoping that with the impossibly simple interface chatGPT has and the basically unlimited budget they have, they would have done a bit better for accessibility. shameful
