Accessible Name Missing the Units Shown in the Visible Label

2.5.3 — Label in Name

Scenario

Setting

A webinar platform's registration form

What’s wrong

Placeholder or trailing units visible ("Amount (USD)") while accessible name is "input".

Example 

<label for="fee">Registration Fee (USD)</label>
<input id="fee" aria-label="Registration Fee">

Why it matters

A voice-control user reading 'Registration Fee (USD)' on screen says exactly that, but the shorter stored name doesn't contain it.

How to test

Read the visible label including any trailing unit or descriptor (e.g., 'Amount (USD)'): check whether the accessible name includes it too, or is just 'input'.

How to fix

Drop the redundant aria-label and let the visible label, units included, become the accessible name.

<label for="fee">Registration Fee (USD)</label>
<input id="fee">

Outcome

A registrant reads the field's full visible label aloud and lands in the fee input on the first try.

Who is affected

Voice-control users filling out the fee field, and screen reader users who lose the currency context entirely.
