Using icon+alt text as lbl ( in PDF list)

Is it inappropriate to use an icon+alt text as a <lbl> in a <list> structure? Will the major screen readers (jaws, nvda, voiceover) read the alt text as the label for each list item?
The icons (with their alt texts) are the only on-screen elements that will truly and intuitively serve as labels in the PDF in question.
Thanks,
Alan
