# What is Accessibility Label?

A text description added to an element so screen readers can describe it to users who cannot see the screen. Required for images, icons, and custom controls.

## In real work

Add accessibility labels to all icon buttons. The close button reads 'Close dialog'. The share button reads 'Share post'.
