Hi Glen

Well thank you very much for your answer

and yes I meant SC 1.3.3 sensory characteristics

the interface includes 10 buttons that right now have only label provided
with aria-label

sighted users can see right now only the shape of the buttons and screen
reader users can hear the labels - exercise one, 2, three etc…

Pressing enter or left click on the mouse on each button we'll open the
exercise

so, if I understand correctly, in order for sited users to be able to
understand the purpose of each button two each exercise, then a tooltip can
be sufficient here with mouse hover and with keyboard navigation with the
tab key. so everyone can understand the purpose of each button.

I do agree that if the buttons would appear with the text that says
exercise one, 2, 3 etc - in the first place without mouse hover and
keyboard navigation - this will provide the best user experience. but I
guess that the client wants' at least for now, to keep the interface as it
is.
