I was asked recently if the are downsides for having "hidden" text from
sighted users, but available to screen reader users.

For example, what are the downsides of having white text on a white
background to add a slide title in PowerPoint? Is it ever appropriate to
use font color to hide text from sighted users but are available to screen
reader users?

Thanks!
