Accessible Description
An accessible description is extra text associated with an interface element, such as a button, link, or image, that gives users of assistive technologies additional information beyond the element's short label. Where an accessible name identifies what an element is, an accessible description supplements that name with further context or instructions. Screen readers and other assistive technologies can present this description to help users understand or operate the element.
