Re: Audio recording - query

That's more of a functional/developer issue than an accessibility issue.
If you're using a microphone that picks up ambient sounds, such as a usb
microphone sitting on your desk, then it'll pick up your voice and the
screen reader voice and you can't split them. It'd be the same if there
was a person standing next to you and you were both talking (intentionally)
in order to record the query.

You can recommend that if someone wants to record their chatbot question,
they use a headset or earbuds. Then the screen reader audio would be
playing in the headset and not be audible for the headset microphone to
pick up. I just tried a quick test with the Voice Recorder app in Windows
10 and it worked fine.
