Screen reader is reading items as "blank"
Can someone take a look at this one slide and tell me why a screen reader is reading as "blank" between each text box?

Hi MaryHancock!
Thanks for reaching out!
Do you mind clarifying which screen reader you're working with? Also, it would be helpful to know which keys were used to navigate the focus. I tested your slide with the current version of JAWS, and could not replicate the same behavior. Navigating between text boxes with the up and down arrow keys, "Blank" was not announced.
Looking forward to hearing from you!
The client is using JAWS 2021 and the up and down arrow.
Hello MaryHancock,
Here's a quick recording of what I hear from JAWS 2024 when I review your slide. Like Steven's test results, I could also not hear any items that were read as "blank". Since your client used an outdated version of JAWS, would you mind asking them to test using JAWS 2024 to see if the issue persists?
