@sevapopov2 I just tested it. NVDA reports Aria describedby in braille in the same way as speech. When you are in focus mode, it is reported. When you are in browse mode, it isn't. It is reported in speech if you are using tab or b to move to the next or previous button, because NVDA speaks the object as if it gained focus in focus mode. I think this is more a issue with browse mode as a hole, rather than a braille spesific issue. It isn't a chrome spesific issue ither, because it behaves identicly in firefox.
Hi, thank you for information! Yes, I have just checked and aria-describedby is displayed in focus mode in braille. And I never thought that when pressing b or Tab key the information in speech is presented as in focus mode also, thank you for that information. Here are my thoughts: Maybe it is possible to make a checkbox in additional settings or in other place to present aria-describedby in browse mode so user can switch it if needed as it is done with aria-description? Thank you!
