Yes, I use Orca screen reader.

If the message box does not appear, I simply have not the message E.G. 
for an error. Using QT5, even with screen turned off, the message box 
was displayed so Orca was perfectly able to read it.

For a screen reader, the monitor has not to be switched on to get the 
message.
This issue does not occur E.G. for QInputDialog, QMainWindow nor QDialog.
For confidentiality reason, I prefer having my screen switched off so I 
can choose when sighted people can or cannot read on my screen, which 
does not mean I don't use any graphical interface.

I hop this helps better understanding this issue.

Best regards,
