Accessibility - Screen Reader Verbosity from Parentheses

Created on 2 July 2025, 27 days ago

Problem/Motivation

Screen reader user experience is very verbose in general. Any attempt to reduce verbosity is usually a welcome change. The Link Purpose Icons report the meaning of the icon (thank you), the meaning is configurable, however the meaning parentheses cannot be removed. Screen reader users may prefer if the parentheses are removed to reduce verbosity.

Steps to reproduce

Create link with purpose icon. View accessible description. See the parentheses.

Proposed resolution

Remove parentheses by default, or allow Drupal users to remove them.
