Audio Description for menus/navigation

    I have been asked to create a website for a talking newspaper. Finding a suitable accessible theme and creating a simple/clean layout seems fine. But what I would like to do, if possible, is for the menu functions and maybe other links are audible described when the mouse hovers on them. I have seen it done on one website, but I’m not sure if that was a wordpress site.
    Does anyone know of any plug-ins that offer this functionality?
    Thanks
    Simon

    Hello @dancingbear1965

    Can you confirm, do you want the test of the menu items to be read out when a user hovers over them with a mouse, or do you want to make sure that the menus are accessible, and that screen readers can access their content correctly?

    I would like the menu items to be read out. I don’t rally want to rely on screen readers.
    Thanks

    Aha, I see, gotcha.

    I’m not personally aware of any plugins that do this, but a quick search of the plugins repository indicates there are some options you can try.

    Thanks. I couldn’t think of the right combination of words for a search. Brain-block 😁
    Any way I’ll have a look through and see if anything works.
    Thanks again.

    No problem, some times another pair of brains is helpful 🙂
