Have you used Voice Control? It feels like magic! But it would be cool if you could have an easier time guessing the name of a button without the “Show names” command. We can do that! Meet accessibilityUserInputLabels.
Some of you have asked me how you can support what I do. This would really help, and would be hugely appreciated:
Find these posts useful? Share them at work, on social media, or with anyone that might find them interesting. Let's spread the word!
Check out any of my apps or games: Xarra!, RetroRapid!, or Mestre!.
A download and a review go a long way. They're free by default. On the App Store, ratings and reviews really help more people discover them.
Finding any of them useful? If so, and if you can afford it, purchasing lifetime access to all features or subscribing lets me buy the coffee that keeps me caffeinated. Caffeine keeps me going to maintain the apps, bring in new features that I hope you'll love, and keep writing.

Accessibility labels might not be the best input labels, used for example to find or interact with elements with Voice Control or Full Keyboard Access. In those cases, you can provide accessibility user input labels.
A quick way for turning on, or off, VoiceOver is by using Siri. Say something like: "Hey, Siri! Turn on VoiceOver", and you'll find yourself using VoiceOver in no time. You can also do the same with other technologies like Voice Control.
Guidelines from Apple: Begin with a verb that explains the results of the action. Avoid using the imperative form of a verb because that can make it sound like a command. Don’t include the action type. Don’t include the control. https://developer.apple.com/documentation/objectivec/nsobject-swift.class/accessibilityhint
