Accessibility audit: page turning status

[cbeer]

Once a digitised item is open, users can navigate through the pages/views of the digitised material using the arrow buttons "Previous item" and "Next item/Next item". While sighted users perceive the "turning of pages" directly, blind users are not informed that the view has changed.
To change this, a live region could be created using the role="status" attribute. After paging, the text (e.g., the text below the digitized page number and name) should be placed inside the element with the role="status" attribute. This would mean that the text would be read by the screen reader after turning the page without shifting the focus.

I'm not clear what text is expected; "5 of 10"? the new canvas label?

Clarified by Google Translate:

To change this, a live region could be created using the attribute role = "status". After turning the page, the text below the digitized material (page number and description) should be placed within the element with the attribute role = "status".

A new region and role don't seem to be necessary; the problem is effectively solved by adding aria-live="polite" to the <section> that contains the <canvas>.

`

However there is duplication between the aria-label on this <section> and the requirements of #3107. It looks like this will resolve that - or in any case, it works in my test on VO:

• remove aria-label="text" from this <section>
• replace with aria-labelledby="id-of-mirador-osd-info" (ID established in Accessibility audit: canvas elements #3107)
