Communications Accessibility Tip: Making Your Links Descriptive Screen readers allow visually impaired users to navigate easily between links. However, because a screen reader will read aloud the entire link text, it’s important to give it a unique and descriptive label to avoid confusion or complication. Here are some examples: Correct: View your employee benefits. (This title is short, unique, and clearly describes the destination.) Incorrect: Click here. (This title is too vague, and does not give enough information about where the link leads.) Incorrect: https://www.rcsdk8.org/employee-benefits (This title is too long and may be hard to follow, as a screen reader will read each individual character out loud.)
