It sounds like one of the elements probably has role="menu", but that alone wouldn't cause what you hear. You may find that one or more elements has aria-label="menu" too.

My experience is that when role="menu" is present, it is invariably implemented incorrectly in numerous ways. I suggest you compare the coding with the ARIA design pattern.

Subject: [WebAIM] Question on NVDA behaviour when reading menu items

Hello all,

I am currently testing a page on which there are several menu items. On expanding one of the menus, NVDA reads 'Menu menu menu item Submit a meter reading', for example. What could be causing NVDA to repeat the word menu three times? It does this with other menu items on the page as well.

Many thanks.
Geetha
