The ScreenReader element has one required attribute, stringId. This is a
string that identifies this specific instance of ScreenReader.
Inner elements
The ScreenReader element can contain any number of Parameter inner element
instances. The Parameter inner element must contain the expression
attribute, which is a string that represents an arithmetic expression. This
expression allows for dynamically representing real-time attribute values and
gyroscopic effects.
