# plotOptions.mappoint.accessibility.point.valueDescriptionFormat

Format to use for describing the values of data points to assistive technology - including screen readers. The point context is available as `{point}`.

Other available context variables include `{index}`, `{value}`, and `{xDescription}`.

Additionally, the series name, annotation info, and description added in `point.accessibility.description` is added by default if relevant. To override this, use the accessibility.point.descriptionFormatter option.
