Accessibility

Reduced Motion

Respects the prefers-reduced-motion media query via useReducedMotion from Motion. When reduced motion is preferred, the text renders immediately at full opacity with no movement. The full string is exposed to screen readers via aria-label, with the per-character spans aria-hidden.
