“Model switching feature inaccessible for screen reader users”

Didn’t even know model switching was a thing until today—turns out you can change between different versions (like v4 and v4.5). I only found out because I asked in here why v4.5 suddenly wasn’t giving me the same results I used to get.

I used to see the model names listed in the app, though I think they were just plain text, not actually clickable. (If that doesn’t make sense, don’t worry—I’ll explain). On the website—tried on iphone with several diferent browsers—I see the dropdown, I can double tap it… and absolutely nothing happens.

I use a screen reader to navigate both the app and website. A screen reader takes what’s on the screen and reads it aloud—text, buttons, menus, all of it. But in order for that to work, things have to be labeled and formatted properly. And no, it’s not hard to do—it just takes a bit of know-how and effort.

Right now, I’m stuck with v4.5 unless or until Suno makes the model selection feature accessible. And yeah, I love this app. I’ve made some songs I’m really proud of. But when major features like this are inaccessible, it seriously kills the vibe.

This isn’t the first time either. For months, the entire “Remaster,” “Extend,” etc. area wasn’t usable with a screen reader. I had to tap on what my screen reader labeled “Cover Song Beta” just to get it to actually select “Create a Persona” or whatever was under it. That’s how broken the layout used to be—and thankfully, they did fix it. Which means they can fix this too.

Anyway, thanks for letting me rant. TL;DR: Suno’s model-switching feature isn’t accessible to users with screen readers. It’s fixable—other issues have been fixed before.
