<p class="note">Authors are advised to use extreme caution and consider a wide range of disabilities when hiding visibly rendered content from assistive technologies. For example, a sighted, dexterity-impaired individual might use voice-controlled assistive technologies to access a visual interface. If an author hides visible link text "Go to checkout" and exposes similar, yet non-identical link text "Check out now" to the accessibility API, the user might be unable to access the interface they perceive using voice control. Similar problems can also arise for screen reader users. For example, a sighted telephone support technician might attempt to have the blind screen reader user click the "Go to checkout" link, which they might be unable to find using a type-ahead item search ("Go to…").</p>
