Hello all,
I've been testing the new UI out for a little while now, I really like where this new UI is going.
There's a few accessibility issues that should be looked into, ideally at some point before it goes live. I've compiled a list of the current accessibility issues for screen reader users below:

The following are not specific to any area of the UI.
Near the top of the page there are two expandable menu dropdowns that do not have labels.

These issues are specific to when viewing a sound stand-alone.
The player controls while looking at a sound standalone don't seem to have labels attached to them.
There is a series of 5 buttons above the main sound title that also do not have labels.
There are two buttons below the sound title header that also do not have labels.
The rating controls do not have labels.
Below the download sound link, there are 4 additional links that do not have labels.
Somewhere in the attribution section, it should tell you which attribution license governs this sound's use, in addition to the brief summery instead of having to click away.
The following are specific to the sound search/browser with results loaded.
Somewhere near a sound's header, there is a graphical element, I'm not quite sure how it shows up to a sighted person. It acts as the play button, this does not have a label.
There are two buttons near the time counter that do not have labels.

Keep up the great work!
Best wishes,
Omar

Hi Omar,
I totally agree !
I've listed some of the problems you mention here in another thread too, but your description is really sharper than mine, thank you !

Wishing you all the best !

Thanks Omar, that list will be super useful!
I'll work on fixing all of these issues (and future ones). Also the ones reported by kevp888 in the other thread.

Hello all,
I am glad this list was useful, thanks so much for the positive feedback!
Kind regards,
Omar

Hello,
I was going to post a similor topic but glad I saw this before I did.

The new UI looks great though.
