RE: What exactly will trigger a screen reader buffer update?

Hi Lars,

nowadays screenreaders synchronize DOM and their buffer continuously. Approximately 10 years ago there were problems and screenreaders didn't always catch dynamic updates to page content - that was known as the latency issue. I haven't noticed that problem in many years, now.

Live-Regions are not  connected to that issue.

If you have added content dynamically, you will need to navigate to the new content with a screenreader to check, whether the content is there. It should be.
