Controls Inconsistently Labeled

Short Description

Controls are labelled differently across pages.

Controls with the same function are labelled differently across pages.
Controls with the same functions are located in different places across pages.
For screenreader users, it takes a long time to locate controls on a page. So, screenreader users rely on tools like the links list box. When controls are labelled differently, the screenreader user has a harder time locating controls.
Screenreader users create mental maps, which guides their navigation. If controls are located in different places across pages, they have a harder time locating the controls. As a result, screenreader users spend a lot of time navigating through unnecessary information.
