Hi!

How are people handling voiceover announcements when navigating through a LiveView app? A voiceover user has no idea that they’ve navigated to a new page. Is there a preferred way of doing this? I thought I’d ask for tips before I try to come up with a solution, such as set up a custom hook and add a push_event to every LiveView.

Thanks!

Pardon my ignorance but… what is a voiceover announcement for a LiveView app? you want an audio file to be played by al connected instances at roughly the same time?

Sorry for being too vague. I’m talking about people who use a screen reader, and the default screen reader for macOS is called Voiceover. The app should tell the screen reader what’s happening, e.g. with an aria-live region.
