Hi Sailesh,

I'm afraid I don't understand your feedback. Do you think it's good for a screen reader to not read a form field's title text in normal reading mode? Or do you think a screen reader shouldn't read a hidden label in normal reading mode? Or do you mean something else entirely?

Even if a label is hidden visually, it's still programmatically connected to the field, so I don't understand what you mean by this part of your response either...

Genuinely trying to figure this out and do the right thing!

Thanks,
Zoe
