The Impact of Capitalized Text on Accessibility for Screen Reader Users
Did you know that capitalized text is read by screen readers letter by letter? This means that "UPLOAD" becomes “U-P-L-O-A-D”. Can you imagine how frustrating and time-consuming this must be to listen to?
Accessibility matters, especially in a web-connected world. If you're not following good accessibility practices (there's plenty more than just the whole "no all-caps" thing), you are isolating an important group of web users. It's important to note that some industries, like banking, higher education, and government, have accessibility standards that your site needs to meet. But regardless of whether it's required or not, accessibility should be top of mind for all website owners.
It's simply the right thing to do to ensure that everyone, regardless of their abilities, can access your website. So let's make the internet a more inclusive place by adopting good accessibility practices!
