Can we do anything about "No and O float away?" #335

Closed terracoda closed 4 years ago

terracoda commented 4 years ago

Can we do anything about the context response that announces, "NO and O float away"? This is spoken as “No and O float away”, by screen reader software.

Options are:

  1. Do nothing - hopefully AT will improve in the future and any confusion in the interim can be cleared up in a supported learning context.
  2. Spell out the molecule pieces:
    • “Nitrogen Oxide and Oxygen float away.”

The response for the split Ozone is less problematic since O2 and O2 sound the same:

We will wait for voice reading software and web standards to improve.
