Description

When the keyboard is used to increment or decrement the values via the arrow keys, the screen reader does not announce the updated value.
If the screen reader does not announce the value change in the input field, it’s difficult for users to understand it on their own. This defect mainly impacts users who are blind.

WCAG 2.1 Violation

Recommend Fix

Ensure JAWS announce the incremented and decremented values accordingly when they are changed.
