Example: How to name a button
Test this with a screen reader and with voice recognition software
No name
<button> <svg viewBox="0 0 20 20" focusable="false" role="presentation"> [...] </svg> </button>
Heart icon?
<button aria-label="Heart icon"> <svg viewBox="0 0 20 20" focusable="false" role="presentation"> [...] </svg> </button>
Describe the action
<button aria-label="Like"> <svg viewBox="0 0 20 20" focusable="false" role="presentation"> [..] </svg> </button>
Start with the right word
<button aria-label="Please like this post"> <svg viewBox="0 0 20 20" focusable="false" role="presentation"> [..] </svg> </button>
Add text! As in don't make me guess
<button> <svg viewBox="0 0 20 20" focusable="false" role="presentation"> [..] </svg> Like </button>
