Provides text for screen readers that is visually hidden. It is the logical opposite of the `aria-hidden` attribute.

In the following example, screen readers will announce "Save" and will ignore the icon; the browser displays the icon and ignores the text.

```jsx
import { VisuallyHidden } from "@reach/visually-hidden";

function Example() {
	return (
		<button>
			<VisuallyHidden>Save</VisuallyHidden>
			<span aria-hidden>💾</span>
		</button>
	);
}
```
