Accessible Name Matches Visible Label Check

Description

The “Accessible Name Matches Visible Label Check” evaluates whether all interactive elements (like buttons, form fields, links, etc.) have accessible names (read by screen readers and other assistive technologies) that match the visible label shown on the screen.

Example outcome

I observed that all interactive elements have in their accessible names the visible label text.

Impact

Fixes

To address interactive elements whose accessible names don’t match the visible label:

  1. Locate the incorrect interactive element.
  2. Change its accessible name to match totally or contain the visible label.
