What screenreader? Narrator? NVDA? JAWS? it works for me in Safari / FF / Chrome + VoiceOver, but havent tested on a windows machine

@KonnorRogers Thanks for your reply. I was using Narrator on Windows 11 Enterprise with Chrome browser with version140.0.
Note: I have also used BrowserStack Accessibility Tool, which uses NVDA, but it was not able to read the visually hidden content.
