Alt Text Hall of Fame
Reposting this amazing guide on how to write helpful alt text from https://www.perkins.org/resource/how-write-alt-text-and-image-descriptions-visually-impaired/, originally posted by @karengregory (including her original image description) so that I can pin it.
@alttexthalloffame @karengregory @tbroyer Hah I used this very image in my argument for how we should do content modelling with assets and that alt-text is nothing to do with captions but is the textual asset for the media item. It's a great example.
@alttexthalloffame @karengregory Thanks this is amazingly amazing useful as a reference to share.
I do wish more apps provided direct access to alt-text for copy/pasting (beyond ferreting from browser inspector), e.g. here in mastodon web, I can only see alt text as hover, why cant I easily get to it? I can only see as hover text.
