Abstract
A system for managing content sent to a screen reader is provided. The system is configured to monitor the context of a window, wherein the window context is minimized or active; and when the window context is minimized: monitor for a received textual message in a dynamic area of the window; generate, for each consecutive time interval of a pre-determined fixed time period, an announcement, for each textual message context, indicating that a textual message of a particular context has been detected responsive to the first textual message of the particular context being detected during the time interval and not for any subsequent textual message of the particular context detected during the time interval; and send one announcement for each textual message context per time interval to the screen reader if at least one textual message for a particular context was received during the time interval.
