Read Label Using JAWS (Screen Reader)
Is there a way we can read Label/Paragraph using JAWS? For example , on click of one button we are saving data and on successful save, we display one message "Your updates have been saved". As accessibility , the expectation is this message must be read using JAWS.

Try using Role=ALERT for the save message, JAWS typically reads out anything marked as ALERT. I also notice alert Dialog option. check if either helps.
OR
In casew of accessibility enabled, you can show the message in an alert / modal window which also ensure JAWS reads it out.

Hi,
You can set Accessibility configuration for the Dynamic Layout in which you have the label added. Accessibility configuration is in the General tab of Dynamic Layout config. Please see one example in below screenshot.
