Document title

WCAG 2.4.2 Page Titled · A

AI + human
drafted locally, human-approved

What the rule requires

A document needs a real title — it’s the first thing a screen reader announces and the label assistive technology uses in tabs and window lists. “Untitled” doesn’t qualify, and neither does a title that just echoes the filename.

How Proof clears it

  1. Checks catalog and XMP titles, including filename-echo detection — a title that just repeats the filename fails until a human sets a real one.
  2. AI suggests a real title when the title is missing or just echoes the filename — human-reviewed, always.
  3. Refuses junk: Proof won’t write a title that would immediately re-fail the audit — it asks for a real one instead.

What to expect

A real title, never “Untitled.” What a document should be called is a naming decision, so the honest failure mode is asking you for a title rather than shipping a bad one.
