- display an interactive experience in a web browser on a computing device of a user;
- receive an instruction to activate a native screen reader existing on the computing device within the web browser, wherein the web browser is unable to detect that the native screen reader is active on the computing device, and wherein receiving the instruction includes receiving a user input that informs the web browser that the native screen reader is active on the computing device;
