With the caveat that I don't feel knowledgeable about "auto," the
information seems complete and good for me.  

As for the term, I personally prefer "speakability" as it is similar to
"visibility" and thus instantly understandable.  It would not be the
only CSS property to annoy spell checkers ("nav" annoys mine).   But I
don't feel strongly enough about it to object to "speaking."

I thought about "audibility," but that would imply that silent content
still took up time, which is not the case here.

Hope this helps,
