Parcelwise: screen reader reads approval buttons as 'button'
Description
Our new admin at Zwolle uses a screen reader. In All requests, the approve and refuse buttons are read out as just "button", so it's guesswork which is which.

Sofie, Aiko: does Friday's accessibility release label the approve/refuse icons in All requests?

Yes, every icon button gets a label ("Approve request from …", "Refuse request from …"). Also focus order in the request list.

Hi Ruud, today's release labels every icon button in the portal for screen readers: in All requests they're read as "Approve request from …" and "Refuse request from …". Could your colleague try it and tell us anything else that gets in the way? Closing this one.
Hi Ruud, thanks for telling us. Those buttons are icons with no label for screen readers. It's part of accessibility work that's due out this week; I'll check it covers All requests.
