Digital Hall of Fame ARIA-Pressed Audit for Toggle Controls
A digital hall of fame ARIA-pressed audit is a structured accessibility review that confirms every stateful toggle control on a recognition display—favorites buttons, comparison selectors, audio toggles, filter chips, and view-switchers—correctly exposes its current pressed or unpressed state through the aria-pressed attribute so screen readers can announce it without requiring the label text to change. When aria-pressed is missing or set to a static value, a screen reader user who activates a “Save to Favorites” button hears only “Save to Favorites, button” on both activation and deactivation—there is no audible feedback that the control changed state. Adding or correcting aria-pressed to toggle between "true" and "false" dynamically solves this without touching the visible label, which is the correct pattern under WCAG 4.1.2 (Name, Role, Value).
