Hey ! Thanks for your message, it's truly appreciated 🙂

As I'm not working on this part specifically and I don't have any Mac around me to test it, I'm going to share your issue in the team, we'll see if we can reproduce this behavior and find a way to prevent it

Ok thank you, I appreciate your responses :)

I am referring to the Chatbot from the click of the "Sample interaction" button on https://a11y-guidelines.orange.com/en/web/components-examples/chatbot/ . Just now I wanted to vet it with more info:

1. With Apply Voiceover enabled (MacOS Catalina 10.15.7)
2. I click the Sample interaction button
3. I listen to Voiceover read the entire chat conversation once through then it read itself again
4. I click Web
5. I see Djingo's response but didn't hear it read. . .
6. Then I just typed nonsense like "web", "web web", "web web web" a few lines, and each time the interaction was as expected.
7. Until I typed, "I don't see any issues today" which showed me Djingo's response, but the sound was just a creepy, breathy "Hhhahhhh" wisp of the wind sound.
8. Anything I type after this I get that weird sound.
9. I tried stopping Voiceover and launching it again... same exhaling-breath-like responses only.

In our own Chatbot that we are working on, I have experimented with dynamically aria-busy={true|false} between messages. Didn't seem to do anything ¯_(ツ)_/¯ Our original Chatbot codebase works quite well in all screenreaders we test with, but it has aria-live="polite" around each new message (this is within a role="log" wrapper) as well as an additional "role=alert" on the first message out the gate. I thought that because our app is React that maybe the aria attributes must be on the innermost, non-dynamic wrapping html element, but that didn't do squat to improve my situation.

hth.
