 * When an error occurs on the page with Name and Email (field left blank or email
   not in the right format), no announcement is made to screen reader users.

 * Hello [@benqwerty](https://wordpress.org/support/users/benqwerty/),
 * Good news! We recently released a new version of the plugin that includes improvements
   to the accessibility and screen reader support.
 * Could you upgrade to the latest version (1.4.4.4) and let me know if the issue
   with the Name and Email fields is fixed?
 * Thanks!

 * Thanks for making the update. The first time the user activates the “Book this
   appointment” button, no errors are reported by the screen reader. If the button
   is activated a second time (or third, fourth) then the announcement is made. 
   The problem seems to be due to the first press of the button not moving focus
   to the Name input. Subsequent presses do move focus.

 * [@benqwerty](https://wordpress.org/support/users/benqwerty/) Thanks for the additional
   feedback, our developers are going to test it again and make any necessary changes.
 * Sorry about all the back and forth, we want to get this fixed, and we appreciate
   your patience!

 * [@benqwerty](https://wordpress.org/support/users/benqwerty/) Our developers were
   able to look into this again. This time they made sure the errors were triggered
   on the fields before it tries to put focus on them.
 * These changes should be included in our next release, make sure to be on the 
   lookout for that and let us know if those changes work better on the screen readers!
 * Thanks,

 * Hi [@benqwerty](https://wordpress.org/support/users/benqwerty/) can you please
   update to SSA v 1.4.4.7 (just released) when you get a chance and let us know
   if that improves the experience on screen readers?
 * Thanks!
