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.
yeah, speech. I'd like to be able to pause and resume the screen reader if it's going. You can tap the shift key during a say all, but not the button on a headset.
