Hi all,

I want to know your opinion on screen reader announcements. For example
for a skip link we provide href="#id" which leads to announcement as
"Same page link" with JAWS while NVDA announces it as general link and
Voiceover as inpage link. It also happens with symbols such as *.

Being a screen reader user it is fine for me unless it changes the
meaning, but want to know experts opinion as well.

Thanks & Regards
Rakesh
