Progress valuechange(valuetext) events should be picked up from anywhere within the currently active window or application. Although the progress is not a live region, it would still be useful to indicate that something's happening.

This is the only ticket I can find that matches the issue I'm experiencing. I can create a new ticket if unrelated to this one.

I recently tested both <progress> and role="progressbar" and the current value or text is not announced via VoiceOver in Firefox (tested on v120).

Example 1: <progress> example from MDN

<label for="file">File progress:</label>
<progress id="file" max="100" value="70">70%</progress>
  • Firefox announces "File progress:, busy, progress indicator".
  • Chrome announces: "File progress:, 70%, progress indicator".
  • Safari announces: "File progress:, 70%, progress indicator".

Example 2: progressbar example from DevDoc:

<div role="progressbar" aria-valuenow="20" aria-valuemin="0" aria-valuetext="Step 2: Copying files..." aria-valuemax="100">
  Step 2: Copying files...
</div>
  • Firefox announces "progress indicator".
  • Chrome announces: "File progress:, 70%, progress indicator".
  • Safari announces: "Step 2: Copying files..., 20%, progress indicator".
