The screen reader is now enabled by default, although it doesn't seem to read anything out on the first page (it does read some stuff out on later pages).

I noticed pressing Super + Alt + S while this page is open does turn the screen reader off, but it doesn't update the GUI switch (even after going to the next page and back). The switch should probably update immediately to indicate that the shortcut worked, in case a user sees the shortcut written on this page and tries it out. What would need to be done to support that?

As we're doing sentence case for "Accessibility setup" on Page 1 and "Select a language" on Page 3, should we be doing the same for "Get Connected" and "Select Keyboard Layout" on Pages 2 and 4? It looks a bit inconsistent going back and forth between sentence case and title case for the titles. (cc: @pop-os/ux)

I agree

I just did the PR yesterday with all the changes but I can't find it, not sure what kind of bug I ran into. Here is the PR: #110

update to sentence case and remove a few unnecessary periods

Haven't fixed the screen reader responding to shortcut yet. The a11y subscription isn't seeing screen reader changes.

Approved pop-os/cosmic-settings#1747. This one looks like it failed to build on the build server, although it seems to build fine locally.
