Our testing suggests that the following issue has been addressed in macOS Big Sur 11.5:

  • Using VoiceOver's, "Say all," command now reads webpages reliably.

As we always stress, we can make no claims on the completeness or accuracy of our testing. We are only a small team, and it is simply impossible for us to test all devices, configurations, applications, and use cases. Accordingly, to help us ensure that the information on this page is as complete and accurate as possible, please let us know in the comments of any fixes; enhancements; or regressions that you find in your own use of this release.
