Research direction
Start by reproducing the issue in Edge with Windows Narrator using the 'Animationcard' query, then inspect the bot response in scan mode. Compare what the screen reader announces with the expected response content and use the WCAG information-and-relationships reference to define the accessibility requirement. Done means the response is announced with its proper information and context.

No response
What is the PWD impact?
When a screen reader does not announce the proper information with a bot response, users relying on assistive technology cannot understand the content or context of the response. They may only hear generic output like “text” or “message” without the actual content, which prevents them from following the conversation.

Windows: Edge with Windows Narrator
