Tailwind CSS offers utility classes designed to enhance web accessibility for all users. One of the key classes is sr-only, which hides an element visually but ensures it remains accessible to screen readers. This is particularly useful for providing extra context or instructions to users relying on assistive technologies, such as adding descriptive text for images or SVG icons that screen readers cannot interpret visually.
To complement this, Tailwind includes the not-sr-only class, which reverses the effect of sr-only, making hidden content visible again. These classes help maintain a clean and uncluttered visual design while still catering to the needs of screen reader users.
Overall, sr-only and not-sr-only are powerful tools for improving web accessibility. As Tailwind evolves, additional accessibility-focused utilities may be introduced to further support inclusive design.
