```

## Discussion

Discussion For example, in a user interface that scrolls through the books in a bookcase, you could return “Books 10 through 20”. By default, VoiceOver announces “Page X of Y” while scrolling. Use the accessibilityAttributedScrollStatus(for:) method if portions of your string should be spoken in a different language.
