summary

Explains how screen readers evolved for GUIs and how modern assistive technologies rely on Accessibility APIs and the accessibility tree (which differs by browser/platform) to build a text representation of a page. Covers factors that affect whether elements appear in that tree—like ARIA hidden and element properties—and how accessible names come from text content or ARIA attributes.
