Voice control

Operating a device by speaking commands, such as the name of a button to press.

Voice control lets a person say what they want a device to do: “click Sign in,” “scroll down,” or “show numbers” to label every link on the page. People with motor disabilities, repetitive strain injuries, or no use of their hands rely on it, and many others use it for convenience. Dragon on Windows, Voice Control on Apple devices, and Voice Access on Android are examples.

Voice control depends on a control’s accessible name matching its visible label. If a button shows “Send” but its name in the code is “Submit form,” saying “click Send” fails. Clear, consistent labels fix this for everyone.
