Strength of this expectation for different types of assistive technologies:

  • Screen Readers: SHOULD
  • Voice Control: SHOULD

Examples:

  • Screen readers should use aria-placeholder as the field name when no other labelling method is applied
  • Speech interfaces should use aria-placeholder to identify / activate a field when no other labelling method is applied

Grading method:

Just one of the listed commands must pass for the expectation to pass.
