Success Criterion 2.5.3
Conformance level A

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

<button aria-label="Find">Search</button>

Why it matters

Voice-control users and screen-reader users who depend on spoken names matching visible text.

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

The accessible name must contain the exact visible label text.

<button aria-label="Search">Search</button>

The accessible name must contain the visible label text so voice-control users can activate it by what they see.

Outcome

On a webinar platform's registration form, this barrier is gone for voice-control users and screen-reader users who depend on spoken names matching visible text — they reach the same outcome without extra effort.
