krollans	Hi all, I’m wondering if anyone has any ideas about how to get a screen reader to pause in its flow of speech, or to manually increase the silence between one word and the next. Thanks! October 16, 2023 at 2:41 pm
APLN Moderator	Hi krollans, Great topic! Screen reader pauses usually work well with punctuation such as a period or a comma. This thread on Stack Overflow discusses some other ways to add pauses, including using screen reader-only hidden elements, or using aria-labels: https://stackoverflow.com/questions/15883778/pausing-in-a-screen-reader-for-accessibility?rq=3 October 17, 2023 at 1:08 pm
