One of our favourite speakers and web experts, Sara Soueidan, has an incredible, comprehensive course on accessibility we recommend to everyone. Here she shares the chapter on ARIA live regions.
We use these for our interactive slides feature on Conffab-each slide from every. presentation is lovingly converted to HTML. These are ARIA live regions so a screen reader can announce each slide as it comes on screen. There’s all a great introduction to them from our AAA conference a couple of years back.
