Designing a navigation index for all users is vital for ensuring that everyone, including those who depend on voice-based navigation, can move through the document with ease. A properly formatted table of contents not only improves usability for everyone but also adheres to global accessibility requirements.

To ensure its accessibility, start by employing correct HTML semantics. The table of contents needs to be contained in a nav container, which signals to screen readers that this section contains navigation links. Inside the nav element, use an unordered list ul to organize the links, as the list format offers clear hierarchy that screen readers can announce clearly. Each li tag should contain a single anchor tag a directing to the appropriate heading.

The href attribute of each link needs to match a target id on the corresponding heading, ensuring that clicking the link scrolls the user to the correct location.

The document’s heading hierarchy must be logically structured and sequenced using h1 through h6 elements. This hierarchy allows screen reader users to understand the document structure and navigate efficiently. Avoid skipping heading levels, such as jumping from h1 to h3, as this disrupts the navigation flow.

The text within each anchor tag must be meaningful and succinct. Instead of using generic phrases like "click here" or "read more", use precise titles like "What Is Accessibility?" or "Fixing Common Errors". Screen readers will voice this label, so it should accurately reflect the destination content.

It is also crucial to apply an aria-label or aria-labelledby on the nav element if the context is not immediately clear. For example, if there are multiple navigation sections on the page, labeling the table of contents as "Page table of contents" helps users differentiate it from secondary menus.

Do not rely on JavaScript to build the table of contents unless absolutely necessary, as this may create barriers for screen reader users if not implemented carefully. If JavaScript is unavoidable, ensure the content is made audible through live regions or by triggering focus changes appropriately.

Validating with JAWS, ketik NVDA, and VoiceOver is non-negotiable. Use only keyboard and screen reader controls to explore the TOC to ensure accurate audio feedback, that the hierarchy is understandable, and that navigation follows a natural sequence. Also, confirm full keyboard support, meaning users can navigate all items in order without gaps. The link should receive visible focus indicators, allowing users who rely on keyboard navigation to understand their location.

Pay attention to where the TOC appears in the document. It ought to come right after the page intro, preferably at the start of the content area, so screen reader users can discover it without delay without having to listen to lengthy content sections first.

If a toggle button controls the TOC visibility, make sure the button is assigned appropriate ARIA roles, such as aria-expanded to indicate state and aria-controls to link the target, to inform assistive technologies of its behavior.

Implementing these recommendations, you build an index that’s both美观 and inclusive, giving every user the freedom to access information independently.
