565565* **Claude's replies**: the extension announces each reply once, when it's complete, and stays silent while text streams in. Your screen reader reads code blocks as a line-count summary, reads links by their label, and reads tables cell by cell; the full reply stays readable in the transcript.
566566* **Permission requests and questions**: the extension announces a request when its permission prompt appears, naming the tool Claude wants to use. It announces in the same way when Claude asks you a question and when Claude finishes a plan and waits for your review.
567567* **Status changes**: the extension announces when Claude starts working, when Claude is ready for your input, and when Claude Code starts compacting the conversation.
568* **Queued messages**: when you send a message while Claude is working, the extension announces "Message queued." for that message.
568569* **Errors and model prompts**: the extension announces errors in the conversation, and announces when the [usage-credits consent prompt](/docs/en/model-config#fable-and-usage-credits) or the [flagged-request prompt](/docs/en/model-config#ask-before-switching) appears.
