Summary
In a Smashing Magazine guide, accessibility consultant Eric Bailey sets out practices for full-screen LLM chat interfaces used with screen readers and keyboards. He recommends a single dedicated live region to announce each completed reply, rather than aria-live on every message, plus "Loading" announcements about every five seconds. Other advice includes visually hidden headings per message, few landmarks, skip links, composite-widget conversation lists, and Control+F6 landmark navigation. He advises waiting on ariaNotify(). The five-second figure and the live-region stability claim are the author's own, with no source given.
