Everyone who adds #alt text to their images, are…
altruists!
#alt


Estaría chulo poder enviar alt de imágenes realizadas por terceros. Si a alguien no le gusta un alt o le parece pobre ... podría escribir uno y darle a mandar solicitud.

A la persona le llega ese alt y puede validarlo si quiere.

#OpenAccess journals, please take heed.

New study: "Using a random sample of 300 English language open access journals, we assessed author guidelines to understand image requirements for submissions…We found that most open access journals do not include disability accessibility elements in their guidelines…While over half the journals had required parameters for image submission, none of them required alt text."

#Writers of the #Fediverse! Looking for a writing exercise/writing prompt? Join the #ALT4you and #ALT4me mutual aid effort to provide #ALT descriptive text to images in the #fediverse

ALT descriptive text is used by blind and visually impaired people to understand and process photos and images that they otherwise cannot see. So please add ALT to any images you Toot.

Putting an image into words can be a very creative exercise that forces you to look at images more deeply and then convey their content and meaning in words.

Also follow the #ALT4me hashtag. It's used by blind and visually impaired tooters (is that even a word?) to request mutual aid when they encounter an image that does not have ALT.

Respond to #ALT4me by replying with the ALT text.

Here's a great example of #ALT4me in action:

The first toot is a request for ALT and the comments provide them.
