[ACCESSIBILITY] Assistant - No status message when Assistant is responding (TalkBack) #4194

Open acovher2 opened 2 weeks ago

acovher2 commented 2 weeks ago

Describe the issue If a TalkBack (screen reader) user enters question, next they should be given a cue that the Assistant is processing or working on it.

WCAG 4.1.3 Status Messages

To Reproduce Steps to reproduce the behavior:

  1. Using TalkBack
  2. Go to 'Assistant'
  3. Gesture until you hear 'Edit box, double tap to edit text'
  4. Double tap, enter any question (for this I used 'Where is the nearest dining hall?' via voice entry button)

Expected behavior After entering any question, screen reader user needs to be given a cue that the Assistant is processing or working on responding.

Actual behavior After entering any question, screen reader user hears "Cleared text, keyboard hidden, button, double tap to activate." They are not taken to a status message or response.

@acovher2, I've made some improvements in version 6.0.20. After sending the question, we are moving the focus to the loading bubble, and after that to the response bubble. Please let me know if this is good enough.
