Hi Jonathan and all,

OK, which tools would you propose that show the Accessible Name strictly according to the specs?
Such a tool would make testing 2.5.3 so much easier with nested elements, titles, aria-labels and sr-only-CSS-classes to.

In my experience, JAWS and NVDA do not always show the same text for interactive elements, perhaps due to browser and configuration variants.

HI, there are tools and favlets that will show the accessible name of controls on screen. This is probably the best way for folks to easily check that the accessible name contains the on-screen label text.

Is there a tool to simulate "aural" control over web content and apps for keyboard only?

I think of desktop simulation without microphone.

Like the display simulation of Smart Phone in Firefox via Ctrl+Shift+M



It could be helpful to evaluate SC 2.5.3 Label in Name.

And it could be helpful to convince web developers.
