Are you a #ScreenReader and/or #Braille user on #Matrix?

Should we be adding messages as captions until #AltText is supported?

Here is a good upstream issue to follow, if you're interested.

Please don't brigade: https://github.com/matrix-org/matrix-spec/issues/883


Allow providing a text alternative/caption for all media/non-text-content · Issue #883 · matrix-org/matrix-spec

Suggestion I would like to specify an alternative text for all media content uploaded to Matrix including casual uploads, user avatar and room avatar, and I think this should be supported to comply...

How do I revoke a vote? I clicked on it accidentally.

Sorry, I accidentally voted even though I'm not blind. Please deduct one vote from "yes, always."

Not a huge sample size, but the results are in!

If you use #Matrix, drop an #AltText comment below your images and screencasts for #ScreenReader, #Braille and other #Accessibility tools until we get support in the spec:
