Status: RESOLVED MOVED

Description Joanmarie Diggs 2022-06-08 09:53:06 PDT
* macOS Monterey Version 12.4
* Safari and Safari Technology Preview
* "Automatically speak the web page" is checked in the VoiceOver Utility (Web->General)

Step to reproduce:
1. Launch VoiceOver in environment described above
2. Launch Safari or Safari Technology Preview
3. Load apple.com

Expected results: VoiceOver would speak the web page as described in the enabled setting.

Actual results: VoiceOver doesn't speak the web page; it says "Apple web content. You are currently on web content."

Note: This works with Chrome/Chromium.
