NVDA screen reader announce title attribute twice in IE browser (not able to announce ). It seems a little bit "off" compared to W3C Accessible Name and Description Calculation documentation:

"For input type = 'text', input type = 'password', input type = 'search', input type = 'tel', input type = 'email' and textarea element the accessible name calculation:

 1. Use ''aria-labelledby''

 2. Otherwise use ''aria-label''

 3. Otherwise use associated ''label'' element

 4. Otherwise use ''placeholder''

 5. Otherwise use ''title'' attribute

 6. If none of the above yield a usable text string, there is no accessible name " (Source: W3C Accessible Name calculation)

When I test the form with proper coding element and title attribute in IE browser (IE v.9, 10 and 11), NVDA just announce the title twice without announcing the form label. I think this might be a bug with NVDA screen reader so it announces title attribute twice instead of label element followed by title attribute.

Hope to hear from you soon
