Expected Behavior

I don't hav elogs as I'm not using docr and there's nothing to show you in the dev console.

Actual Behavior

Hello.
so I'm a totally blind guy and I've installed and setup open Web-ui.
I use the free nvda screen reader.
http://www.nvda-project.org
When I type into the chat box and hit enter text is not auatomatically read out with my screen reader. so I have to move out of the edit box and then up arrow and read the text manually.
The read allowed function sends it through sapi which is terrible.
There's some setting in Aria that I forget which should allow you to make any text coming in read automatically, or even better when it's finished generating if it could read the entire text auatomtically with nvda that would be great.
To test it where it works flawlessly, go to chatgpt.com with nvda installed and see how it works there.
Thank you.

Steps to Reproduce

TYPE INTO THE MODEL INPUT
press enter, see if you can hear anytthing read through nvda screen reader, it won't work.

I think www.nvda-project.org is not active anymore.

the website for the NVDA screen reader has changed. The former domain, nvda-project.org, is no longer active. The official website is now nvaccess.org, managed by NV Access, the organization responsible for developing NVDA.

I has been moved to the site below.
https://www.nvaccess.org/
