Detailed support results by expectation Expectation for the datalist element: convey its role
This expectation is from the datalist element feature.
Rationale:
A screen reader user needs to know how they can interact with the element. Voice control software might use the role to help users activate controls that do not have a visible name.
Strength of this expectation for different types of assistive technologies:
- Screen Readers: MUST
- Voice Control: MUST
Examples:
- A screen reader might announce something like the "datalist", "listbox" role when entering the datalist. Note that it should not be conveyed as a menu per the AAM mappings.
- A screen reader might not announce the datalist role because it is implied by the presence of suggestions or auto complete functionality via the list attribute.
- Voice control software might let the user say something like "show choices" to open the datalist.
Grading method:
Just one of the listed commands must pass for the expectation to pass.

This expectation is from the input[type="text"] element feature.
Rationale:
A screen reader user needs to know what to enter.
Strength of this expectation for different types of assistive technologies:
- Screen Readers: MUST
- Voice Control: MUST
Examples:
- A screen reader will announce the name (label).
- Voice control software will let the user say something like "click <name>" to activate the control.
Grading method:
Just one of the listed commands must pass for the expectation to pass.
Notes:
For form inputs - commands to read line by line (down and up arrows in most windows screen readers) will not always result in the name being explicitly conveyed when the virtual focus is moved to an input where the label is visually displayed and programmatically associated with the input. This is acceptable because the name is implied by the fact that it should be naturally found in the reading order. Some screen readers choose to not convey the name in these cases, likely in an effort to reduce verbosity.

This expectation is from the input[type="text"] element feature.
Rationale:
A screen reader user needs to know how they can interact with the element. Voice control software might use the role to help users activate controls that do not have a visible name.
Strength of this expectation for different types of assistive technologies:
- Screen Readers: MUST
- Voice Control: MUST
Examples:
- A screen reader might be announce the role as "text input", "edit", "edit text", etc.
- A screen reader might announce a modified role when a datalist is attached, such as "combo box".
- Voice control software will let the user say something like "click text box" to focus a the input or flag the role with a number.
Grading method:
Just one of the listed commands must pass for the expectation to pass.

This expectation is applied to the input[type="text"] element. Expectations and results might differ when the the feature is applied to different roles.
This expectation is from the list attribute feature.
Rationale:
The user needs to know that the input will provide suggestions.
Strength of this expectation for different types of assistive technologies:
- Screen Readers: MUST
- Voice Control: NA
Examples:
- might announce that suggestions are available when the input receives focus.
- might announce that the input has auto complete functionality.
- might modify the role of the associated input to convey datalist functionality, such as changing "edit text" to "Combo box".
Grading method:
Just one of the listed commands must pass for the expectation to pass.

This expectation is from the option element feature.
Rationale:
A screen reader user needs to know what to enter.
Strength of this expectation for different types of assistive technologies:
- Screen Readers: MUST
- Voice Control: MUST
Examples:
- A screen reader will announce the name of the option (if present) in addition to the value.
- Voice control software will let the user say something like "choose <name>" after saying something like "show choices" to pick the option.
Grading method:
Just one of the listed commands must pass for the expectation to pass.
Notes:
For form inputs - commands to read line by line (down and up arrows in most windows screen readers) will not always result in the name being explicitly conveyed when the virtual focus is moved to an input where the label is visually displayed and programmatically associated with the input. This is acceptable because the name is implied by the fact that it should be naturally found in the reading order. Some screen readers choose to not convey the name in these cases, likely in an effort to reduce verbosity.

This expectation is from the option element feature.
Rationale:
A screen reader user needs to know how they can interact with the element. Voice control software might use the role to help users activate controls that do not have a visible name.
Strength of this expectation for different types of assistive technologies:
- Screen Readers: MUST
- Voice Control: MUST
Examples:
- A screen reader might announce "option" as the role.
- A screen reader might not announce a role because the role is implied by the role of a select element, combo box, or listbox.
- A screen reader might not announce a role because the role is implied by the announcement of auto complete or suggestions.
- Voice control software will let the user say something like "move down <n>" or "move up <n>" to select an option.
