1ALL CAPS and Readability
ALL CAPS text is significantly harder to read for people with dyslexia. It also removes word shape cues that sighted readers rely on.
2Screen Readers
Screen readers may read ALL CAPS text letter-by-letter (NATO, CEO) even if you intend it as a word. Test your content with a screen reader.
3Hashtags
#ConvertCaseTool is read as three words by screen readers. #convertcasetool is read as one long word — a much worse experience.
4WCAG Guidelines
WCAG 2.1 does not explicitly prohibit all caps, but success criteria 1.4.8 (Visual Presentation) indirectly discourages it for body text.
Frequently Asked Questions
Is all caps text accessible?
Not recommended for body text. For short labels or abbreviations (CTA, URL) it can be fine. Avoid ALL CAPS for long passages.
