Button and Tab components: text-transform: uppercase causes some screen readers to spell the word instead of reading it #3698
Closed
Description
I've started looking in to accessibility for a web application where we use a fair amount of MDC Web components.
One of the first oddities I stumbled upon was when trying the app using Androids built in screen reader Talkback.
When reading elements that has text-transform: uppercase it often spells the word instead of reading it.
There seems to be some kind of whitelist of words that are read as word anyways, but mostly the words are spelled instead of read out, especially in other languages than English.
When it comes to MDC Web this obviously affects components such as Button and Tab.
