Original Abstract Submitted

Techniques for accessibility-enabled application switching are provided. In an example method, a processing device receives a status indication of a screen reader browsing content using a first application. The processing device receives a context switch indication from the screen reader, including a designation of a second application as a target application based on context switch accessibility code. The processing device generates a token comprising a client device identifier and identifiers of the source and target applications. The processing device then receives a status indication of the screen reader browsing content using the second application and a second context switch indication. The processing device accesses the token based on the client device identifier and determines the source application. The processing device updates the identifiers of the source and target applications. The processing device then receives a status indication of the screen reader browsing the content using the first application.
