{{DefaultAPISidebar("DOM")}}

The **`ariaValueText`** property of the {{domxref("ElementInternals")}} interface reflects the value of the [`aria-valuetext`](/en-US/docs/Web/Accessibility/ARIA/ARIA_Techniques/Using_the_aria-valuetext_attribute) attribute, which defines the human readable text alternative of aria-valuenow for a range widget.

> **Note:** Setting aria attributes on `ElementInternals` allows default semantics to be defined on a custom element. These may be overwritten by author-defined attributes, but ensure that default semantics are retained should the author delete those attributes, or fail to add them at all. For more information see the [Accessibility Object Model explainer](https://wicg.github.io/aom/explainer.html#default-semantics-for-custom-elements-via-the-elementinternals-object).

## Syntax

let ariaValueText = ElementInternals.ariaValueText;
ElementInternals.ariaValueText = ariaValueText;

A {{domxref("DOMString")}}.
