It can be used, but the question is whether it makes sense to label something that has no role? > When using "aria-label", few of the screen readers would ignore > the actual link or button text. It is best to describe the link or > button in the "aria-label" text itself. My preference would be to describe the link or button in the actual link or button text and use aria-label only in very rare cases where there is no HTML alternative The question is not "does it work in a screenreader" but "does the text of an aria-label on a span-element end up in the accessibility tree"?
