<pre>The accessible name calculation algorithm for ARIA <a href="https://www.w3.org/TR/wai-aria/roles#textalternativecomputation">https://www.w3.org/TR/wai-aria/roles#textalternativecomputation</a> states that aria-label (step 2A) takes precedence over the content of an element (step 2C) for the calculation of the name of the element when that element's role allows both content or author as the source of the accessible name.
This codepen <a href="http://codepen.io/anon/pen/dXdEXx">http://codepen.io/anon/pen/dXdEXx</a> shows that VO on both OS X and iOS does not implement that algorithm correctly.
In the case of OS X, the rotor displays the correctly calculated text, but the spoken text does not match this. In the case of iOS, the incorrect text (content) is spoken instead of the aria-label text.</pre>
