WCAG 2.5.3 Label in Name

Level A

When a UI component has a visible text label, the accessible name (used by speech-input and screen readers) must include that visible text.

Common failures

A button visually labelled "Submit" has `aria-label="Send form"`, breaking voice-control commands.

How to fix

Make sure visible text is part of the accessible name — use `aria-labelledby` referencing the visible label, or omit redundant `aria-label`.
