immediately to the left of comboboxes, dropdown lists, text inputs, and other widgets.

The typical positioning for left to right languages is: Label as being only the text in close proximity.Д¬onventionally the label for user interface components is the adjacent text string. However, there are reasons why it is best to conservatively interpret the There are often multiple text strings in a user interface that may be relevant toДЄ control. To determine which text on the screen should be considered a label for any given control.

In order for the label text and accessible name to be matched, it is first necessary Speech output that does not match the visible label. It also creates extra cognitive load for a text-to-speech user to absorb and understand To say a speech command that is different from the visible label they see on a control. Mismatches create an extra cognitive load for speech-input users, who must remember Of an issue for speech-input and text-to-speech users who also have cognitive challenges. Mismatches between visible labels and programmatic names for controls are even more InДЄddition, when the accessible name is different from the visible label, it may functionДЄs a hidden command that can be accidentally activated by speech-input users.

Navigation fails because the visible label spoken by the users does not match (or Of navigation or selection (e.g., 'move to Password') will be unsuccessful. When theyДon't match, speech-input users who attempt to use the visible text label as a means Where text labels exist and are properly linked to the user interface components throughД®stablished authoring practices, the label and name will normally match. Note that where a visible text label does not exist for a component, this SuccessД¬riterion does not apply to that component. Screen readers) will also have a better experience if the text they hear matches the Sighted users who use text-to-speech (e.g., Navigate by speaking the visible text labels of components, such as menus, links,ДЄnd buttons, that appear on the screen. These match, speech-input users (i.e., users of speech recognition applications) can Visible label of a control match or are contained within the accessible name. Users typically have a much better experience if the words and characters in the Those same controls have a programmatic name, also known as the Accessible Name. Most controls are accompanied by a visible text label. Helps ensure that people with disabilities can rely on visible labels as a means to The intent of this Success Criterion is to ensure that the words which visually labelДЄ component are also the words associated with the component programmatically. Success Criterion 2.5.3 Label in Name (Level A): For user interface components with labels that include text or images of text, the name contains the text that is presented visually.ДЄ best practice is to have the text of the label at the start of the name.
