| Definition |
Some assistive technologies, including speech input, do not reliably associate labels with the controls when only label encapsulation is used for labeling. |
| Purpose |
- Speech input and other assistive technologies cannot reliably use the label encapsulation method for identifying a label with it's associated form control.
- Speech input uses the label as part of commands to move focus or change the state of form controls. Examples of speech input commands include: "click first name" for moving focus to a textbox, "click thick crust" to select a radio button associated with a pizza crust selection.
