    <p>To do this just use some CSS to position it offscreen. This will hide the label visually, unless they disable stylesheets. You don't really need ARIA here, unless you are trying to something more fancy than you are saying.</p> <blockquote> <p>who on earth disable stylesheets?</p> </blockquote> <p>I cannot give a percentage, but I disable them periodically due to a number of things. I had to do it this morning to fill out a form because their CSS and JS was wonky.</p> <blockquote> <p>I would also like to know the vice versa scenario of hiding some text only from voice browsers ? </p> </blockquote> <p>I really dont know what you mean by this. I'll take a shot in the dark, and say you are talking about people who use Dragon NaturallySpeaking. Hiding <code>label</code>s actually detracts from user experience. For screen readers, JAWS, NVDA, VoiceOver, it does the following: Oh hey I am in a textbox, is there a label with a for attribute with my ID? Yes there is, then announce the text in the <code>label</code>. Dragon works almost in the opposite way. It recogizes that the text is a label, and it matches up, the form element gets focus when the person says the word(s) in the label, such as First Name.</p> <p>Looking at the other answer, if they are interpreting this question correctly as: "How do [or can] hide parts of a page from a screen reader?" The answer is yes you can by using the <code>aria-hidden</code> attribute. I <a href="https://stackoverflow.com/questions/13365938/gwt-div-aria-hidden-not-hiding-in-ie/13382831#13382831">answered a question about <code>aria-hidden</code></a> the other day, the links within that may provide insight.</p>
