Accessibility Issue: Unlabeled Buttons in NAPS2 Preview Version 8.0 Beta #524

Describe the bug
I am blind from birth and use a screen reader, JAWS, to navigate and interact with software. Screen readers work by translating the visual elements of an interface into audio or braille output. They identify components such as buttons, text fields, and other interactive elements and rely on accessible labels to convey their purpose to the user. When a button is unlabeled or lacks a clear accessible name, the screen reader can only identify it as "button," leaving the user unaware of its function.

In the current preview version of NAPS2 (8.0), I have encountered several unlabeled buttons, which makes the application less accessible to users relying on assistive technology. Ensuring that all interactive elements are provided with clear and descriptive labels would make the software far more accessible and inclusive.

To Reproduce
Steps to reproduce the behavior:

  1. Download a Screen Reader like NVDA and run it.
  2. Open Naps2 and use your keyboard to navigate trough the software.
  3. You will find some unlabeled buttons.

Expected behavior
All buttons should be labeled.
