Action Performed:

  1. Using Chrome + Jaws, open URL staging.new.expensify.com
  2. Navigate to any chat using Tab key and press Enter to select it.
  3. Chat screen is appearing, Navigate to Action (+) button using Tab key and press using Enter to select it.
  4. Add Attachments button sleeted using Enter key.
  5. Select any photo, Navigate to Send button using Tab key.
  6. Observe the announcement of the screen reader.

Expected Result:

Role = "Button" should be defined for send control, so that user can easily identify the function of the control.

Actual Result:

Role is not defined for Send button. Screen reader is only reading "Send".

##Note - On MAC screen reader is reading "Send group".

Send Window

Failed WCAG checkpoints

6.1.2

User impact:

Screen reader user might be confused without knowing the role of the interactive element, so the user is not able to take any action over the control.

Suggested resolution:

Add the role="button" for the send control or implement the element as a native button, so that the role can be announced by screen reader. Refer to: https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/Accessibility/ARIA/Roles/button_role
