Screen reader reads "zoomed-in" as "zoomed dash in"

[stemilymill]

For phetsims/qa#791.

Win10 Chrome + JAWS

In the overview/description of the sim, JAWS reads "zoomed-in" as "zoomed dash in" every time the zoomed-in view is mentioned.

The screen reader is reading out the hyphen. I think this is fine as long as the button's label is otherwise correctly formatted. I think the button's label likely looks like this:

<button>Grab Zoomed-in Chemistry Book</button>

And that is the correct label.

@stemilymill, screen reader users have the options to adjust the amount of punctuation they hear. Many find an amount they like and get used to hearing it.

I feel the hyphen, in this case, is the correct spelling, so I think we should leave it in.

I agree, @stemilymill I'm going to close this. Let us know if you have any questions and feel free to reopen.
