Comment (by afercia):

 As an alternate approach maybe worth considering `aria-label`. Differences
 between the two solutions:
 - aria-label: is standard, cleaner, it completely '''overrides''' the
 element's text (i.e. the original text is not read out at all)
 - screen-reader-text: is basically a hack, requires styling and should be
 used only when there's the need to '''add''' something to an existing text

 Recently, `aria-label` usage in he admin has greatly increased, see for
 example the "row action" links in the Posts screen
 {{{
 <a href="(edit link here...)" aria-label="Edit “Hello world!”">Edit</a>
 }}}
