Structure & relationships
Problem
Structure in applications is more difficult for users of screen readers or other assistive technologies to understand, because visual groupings are not automatically captured programmatically. As a result, a screen reader navigates each element separately, producing a fragmented and unclear experience.
Goal
- Elements that belong together visually are programmatically merged so that a screen reader reads them as a whole.
- Page titles and section headings are marked as headings so that screen reader users can quickly navigate between sections.
