Subject: [WebAIM] Using screen reader logs for automation

CAUTION: This mail comes from outside the University. Please consider this before opening attachments, clicking links, or acting on the content.

Hello team,

As we know both in JAWS and NVDA we can bring the speech history to read the renders of screen reader and this is very helpful for non-native users of such applications.
While discussing in my workplace, we came up with a thought and want experts opinion whether this is something already practiced or if not is it useful or please highlight if there are gaps.

Using the logs of screen reader speech history, we are trying to come up with automated scripts to test repetitive templates/ components in our application. Intention is that it will bring down mannual efforts and also testers who are not so efficient will get help.

We would like to start with one screen reader at a time.
Looking for any support or guidance.

Regards,
Megha
