Link and Button Names
When there are multiple links with the same text, it becomes difficult for screen reader or voice recognition users to distinguish them. Some common scenarios include:
- “Read more” links at the end of each article
- “Edit,” “View,” and “Delete” actions in a list or grid
The solution is to use ARIA descriptions (not hidden text) to append additional text to the accessible name of each link or button.
You can also add a title attribute to provide a tooltip for sighted users. However, the tooltip alone doesn't meet accessibility requirements, so you should use the title attribute in addition to the ARIA description.
