I happened to connect my Airpods to my computer today. It never occurred to me before that the screen reader wouldn't honour the play/pause feature. Like, there's literally a say all command within #NVDASR designed to start reading the screen without further interaction, and there's this globally-recognised multimedia shortcut in windows - part of myriad keyboards, headsets (even my wired 3.5mm earbuds send it) - that the screen reader just totally ignores.
@cachondo Oh odd, both my Soundcore P30i, and Logitech Zone 301 headset can play/pause something like Spotify on Windows with Nvda running.
@cachondo Or do you mean it won't start/stop speech?
