What is the difference between ARIA-Role and ARIA-Label? I understood, that both will be read out in a screen reader.

Hi Minhdoan, with Aria-Role you choose between a defined set of options. The accessible browser reads the option and behaves accordingly.
Aria-Label is a free text description that you use when you want something to be read out aloud to someone who hears only the audio of the website…

Wouldn’t it be better to use figure and figcaption instead of using an unrelated p element with aria-label?
Both for easier readability of the code and having the img inside of a relevant container.

I tested the screen reader on my windows 10, it doesn’t read out my aria-label if they were put in p, but it works for others such as button and a.
