html - How to make screen readers read C/F as Celsius/Fahrenheit? -

-

i have simple webapp bunch of recipes , i'm trying make accessible people use screen readers.

often cooking temperature denoted c (for celsius) , f (for fahrenheit).

screen readers read these letters , thought bit confusing, talking temperatures.

my goal maintain sentence this:

<p> turn oven on 350 f </p> .

unfortunately, screen readers read as:

"turn oven on 3 hundred , fifty f" .

i screen readers pronounce so:

"turn oven on 350 degrees fahrenheit"

is possible somehow indicate screen readers how read specific letters or words? achieveable using aria notation or should have hack have invisible sentence:

<p> turn oven on 350 degrees fahrenheit </p>

it should denoted °c (and °f until usa joins other countries of planet ^^). kelvin degrees written without °
should screen readers understand it's unit, though didn't test those. otherwise @boby212 solution abbr element wcag 2.0 technique: providing definitions abbreviations using abbr , acronym elements
