accessibility - Possible to programmatically suppress the reading of a textarea? -


my first attempt @ accessibility daunting one. i've built site customers "chat" agent, of content being dynamic/ajax. i'm using window-eyes 7.5 testing.

for incoming messages add "role=alert" , "aria-live=polite" new divs , screenreader reads incoming text expect. however, if happen typing in textarea i'd send comments, screenreader abruptly cuts off , reads typing instead.

is solely configuration of window-eyes? there programmatic way can either 1) suppress reading of textarea, or 2) enforce queueing of sort new messages read? note switching focus isn't option in case.

there no way know of force text read while user typing in either jaws, or nvda. assume holds true window eyes if doesn’t should assume user typing stop automatic speaking of text compatible many screen readers possible. screen reader users know typing stop automatic speaking of updated content, , review last several messages make sure didn't miss while typing. if concerned user not realizing new message arrived might want play sound whenever message received. way when user typing know have messages review though weren’t read out.
