Abstract
A device may initiate an automated script to perform one or more interactions with a browser application and identify a first element in a page rendered by the browser application that satisfies one or more accessibility criteria, wherein the first element may include text that is readable by a screen reader application and/or an attribute that causes the first element to be navigable using a keyboard. The device may modify the first element to be inaccessible to the screen reader application and the keyboard and insert, into the page, a second element including text that is readable by the screen reader application to describe the one or more interactions that the automated script is performing. The client device may restore the page to an original state based on determining that the automated script has finished executing.
