title: Can we make VoiceOver skip the contents of a container, sometimes?
body: <p>In one of our native iPad apps, there's a screen divided into a number of sections. For the most part, I think it works well with VoiceOver. But one of those sections is a <code>UIWebView</code> that displays web content related to the app, but provided by another vendor. It's essentially a black box to us. So I have no control over what that content is (or how accessible it is), it's <em>incredibly</em> dense with little nuggets of content, and it's on the left side of the screen, so it comes before a lot of the other content in (English) reading order.</p>
  
  <p>As a consequence, if I ask VoiceOver to read through the contents of the screen, it quickly gets bogged down in this web content, and I can't imagine many people sticking it out to the remainder of the screen. But making them give up and scrub the screen to discover things seems obnoxious.</p>
  
  <p>What I would love to be able to do would be to have the read-through treat that whole region as a single unit and use a summary label or heading, but still allow the user to point into it or toggle it somehow to allow interaction with the web content. Is there any way to accomplish this on iOS (without completely confusing the accessibility system)?</p>
  
  <p>Of course, I'm sighted, so I'm also acting on speculation to some extent. Would the current UI be as confusing to users relying on VoiceOver as I think? Is what I'm describing as my solution going to be an even worse situation?</p>
