Text is transferred to the screen reader program as a name, but with no description.

Input text fields

Text is transferred to the screen reader. No names are transferred, except where a labeling relationship is found for the input text, such as a static text field positioned close to the input text field. No descriptions or keyboard shortcut strings are transferred.

Buttons

The state of the button is transferred to the screen reader. No names are transferred, except where labeling relationships are found, and no descriptions or keyboard shortcut strings are transferred.

Documents

The document state is transferred to the screen reader, but with no name or description.
