Not true for Windows screen readers and VoiceOver for iOS. There's a widely implemented feature called audio ducking, where the OS turns down the audio of other applications while the screen reader is speaking. So the music may be quietly in the background, but it's still there. Does Mac not have this feature?
- jareds 8y agoON windows I always manually set the volume of itunes much lower then the system volume. I assume you can do this on OSX. I find this a lot better then using audio ducking. It's jarring to have the music volume increase when I am thinking through a problem instead of doing something on the computer that causes my screen reader to speak.
