Hi @ozzott I can't reproduce this. Can you elaborate on the steps to reproduce?

How do you navigate to the radio button?
What mode are you in (browse/focus)?
What are you doing to select the radio button?

Hello @feerrenrut !

This behavior doesn't happen always, seems random. You can test using this HTML in a file and opening it in a browser:

`

HTML
CSS
JavaScript` I simply start selecting one by one with "enter" and then "arrow down" until says "checked checked". I'm using NVDA in Portuguese (Brazil) and there is an print. ![image](https://user-images.githubusercontent.com/44803139/125619995-446077de-ba26-4e29-aff6-412fb49faf34.png)

Hi @ozzott Could you please answer the questions from my last comment:

How do you navigate to the radio button?
What mode are you in (browse/focus)?

Already answered What are you doing to select the radio button?

I simply start selecting one by one with "enter" and then "arrow down" until says "checked checked"

Hello @feerrenrut !

First i open the document in my browser and then i turn the NVDA on with the page on the background, after that i start the navigation pressing "arrow down", since NVDA is focused on the button already. But i noticed this issue in a project of my work and the navigation they do to test is regular, since one of the QAs has visual impairment and can't visualize. They reported this issue to the developers and i tried to replicate in my personal computer to see if it was problem of the project.

Sorry, i don't know what browse/focus mode means, i simply turn the NVDA on with "Insert + S" 2x, but if you could explain i'd be happy to answer that!

I made https://codepen.io/reefturner/pen/LYyOpeJ to test. I see the "checked" message duplicated in the speech viewer, but only hear it announced once. Is this true for you also?

Speech sent to the speechviewer is instantaneously shown, speech to the synthesizer takes time to be spoken. When a synthesizer is interrupted the it immediately stops speaking the old text, and starts on the new text. In this case that happens so fast that checked isn't heard twice.

While this is wasted effort from NVDA, it is unlikely to be noticed by users. It might be caused by duplicate events coming from the browser but I haven't investigated.

By default, when changing to browse mode you hear a "boop" sound, changing to focus mode you hear a "click" sound. These can be replaced with speech via the option in NVDA settings, browse mode, "Audio indication of focus and browse modes check box". A user can manually change between browse mode and focus mode with NVDA+space

Focus mode may be called applications or forms mode in some other screenreaders, in this mode key presses are passed through to the underlying application.
Browse mode allows a screenreader user to navigate with "quick nav" keys, eg 'h' jumps to the next heading. Keys presses aren't passed through to the underlying application.

I can see the "checked" message duplicated too, but if i "stay" at the button i can hear it being announced twice. Otherwise i won't hear it too. Yes, it don't seem to be a big issue to the user, i just thought it would be worth to notice you.

I only knew the "forms mode", now i get it! Thank you :)

I can only reproduce this very rarely. Given the low impact I won't spend more time to investigate. I haven't been able to confirm hearing "checked" spoken twice yet. I'll leave this issue open in case someone else finds a way to reproduce it more reliably.

I can reproduce this as follows:

Open the codepen in https://github.com/nvaccess/nvda/issues/12643#issuecomment-885481952
Run NVDA in browse mode
Press r or arrow keys until you land on one of the 3 radio buttons (HTML, CSS or Java script), make sure you find a radio button which is disabled
Press enter to enable one of them

Actual: NVDA reports e.g. on the CSS radio button "enabled enabled" Expected: NVDA should report "enabled" only once.
