Right now, Orca is erring on the side of reading what is on the screen;
it's a screen reader after all ;-).
In this case, I think the right thing to do might be to make the
accessible description be "Increase Volume" and let the Where Am I
functionality allow the user to obtain the accessible description. With
this, a user would get "plus button" when navigating to the button and
"Increase Volume" as part of the Where Am I presentation. I'm CC'ing
the orca-list on this, however, to get their thoughts.
