Accessibility Audit: What’s in an Accessible Name?

One of the many things considered during an Accessibility Audit is checking the Accessible Name of various components.

Have you heard the term “Accessible Name”, or maybe been informed you need to provide (or adjust) an Accessible Name on content you created, but found yourself wondering what exactly is an Accessible Name? Why is the Accessible Name important? How do you know what the Accessible Name of an element is? How do you modify or update an Accessible Name, and what WCAG considerations should you keep in mind when doing so? If any of this sounds familiar or intriguing, you’re in luck!

Join one of TPGi’s Accessibility Engineers, Wes Estes, as we explore what’s involved in an Accessible Name!

In this on-demand webinar — Pieces of an Accessibility Audit: What’s in an Accessible Name? — accessibility engineer TPGi explains what an “accessible name” is, why it’s critical for screen-readers and assistive tech, and how it is computed. You’ll learn which HTML elements require accessible names, how names can be derived (visible text, ARIA, labels, alt text, etc.), and common pitfalls that lead to broken or misleading names. Walk-through examples show how to inspect names with browser DevTools and fix accessibility bugs. Great for developers, QA, and anyone auditing web content.
