Phonetics Are Not Used When Reviewing Text on Webpages

Category
Safari
Severity
Minor

Description

When reviewing text character by character by using left or right arrow in a webpage (with Quick Nav off), phonetics are not spoken. If you have VoiceOver set to append a phonetic pronunciation to letters, that setting is honored in all situations I've seen so far except for webpage text.
