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.
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.
