Hello,

I believe that removal or retention of the visible placeholder text is
controlled by the browser, not the screenreader. Firefox leaves it visible
until the user starts to type, Internet Explorer removes it immediately on
focus.

JavaScript can be used to change these behaviours, but without it the above
is what the user can expect.

HTH,

Bim
