 Some quick wins here...

 In the main display screens for Pages, Posts, Comments (and Custom Posts
 too) there are some input fields that could really be helped by the
 addition of a label to explain their purpose. This enhancement would
 improve the experience and ease of use for these screens for screen reader
 users. These labels could be made for screen readers only using CSS - ie
 hidden from sighted users - so as not to spoil the design.

 1. Search pages text box in the top right of the screen.

 2. The selection checkboxes - Suggest the ones in the table header and
 footer should have label "Select All". Suggest the check box for
 individual pages, posts, etc should have a label of "Select ''Title of
 page/post''".

 3. Ideally the Bulk Actions and Show All Dates dropdowns should have a
 label but that is less important in my view as context is supplied by
 default option (kind of).

 Happy to discuss, and to help with screen reader-only text but I believe
 there is a screen-reader-text CSS class available now maybe?
