# WCAG 2.2 – 2.5.3 Label in Name

- Level: A
- Principle: 2 Operable
- Guideline: 2.5 Input Modalities
- Introduced in: WCAG 2.1

## What the rule requires

The visible text of a control is also part of its name in code. Otherwise voice control fails: “Click Send” does not find the button.

## How to get it right

If the button says “Send”, the aria-label must not be “Submit form”. Better: no aria-label at all, or “Send – contact form”.

## Who benefits

- People who use voice control
- Blind people
