Title reading

For accessibility purposes webReader can read some alternative text attributes rather than the inner text content of element.

The supported attributes are:

• alt
• title
• aria-label

alt-text is exclusively used on image elements which are non-textual by nature, but title and aria-label make give a clearer description that what the regular text is. For example, aria-label are often used on buttons to explain what they do, as while the visual text may be clear in context, a low vision user using keyboard navigation may be missing some of that context.

webReader is not reading an element's content as expected

By default, webReader will read these attribute values instead of reading the inner content of an element if one of these are defined. However this can be adjusted using configuration.

<script>
  window.rsConf = {
    general: {labels: {ignoreSelector: '.read-content'}}
  }
</script>

Where ignoreSelector expects a CSS selector string matching those elements where the title reading should be disabled. It is also possible to add the class 'rs_content' directly to an element to disable the title-reading. For more info see Adapt the reading
