| Hello,
how could one achieve that VoiceOver would announce a certain string when entering a group of items?
The analogy is Weather.app: when VoiceOver cursor goes from the current weather summary at the top to the “Now” item, it reads “Hourly forecasts” before reading the accessibility label of the “Now” item. (The fact that the accessibility label for “Now” item does not include “Hourly forecasts” can be inferred by flicking right and left - VoiceOver then reads just the “Now, …” without the “Hourly forecasts”)
Similarly, when entering the first forecast for days, VoiceOver says “Daily forecasts”, and only then announces the forecast for the current day.
To go back to my reference situation from previous email - a toolbar with 5 buttons - I tried setting an accessibilityLabel on the toolbar, of course leaving isAccessibilityElement at the default of false. That however did not change VoiceOver behavior - it did not announce the accessibilityLabel of the toolbar in any way when entering it “from outside” (i.e. when VO cursor is first outside of the toolbar and then the user moves it inside the toolbar).
Thanks, Boris
