#alttextchallenge

An infographic titled “Writing Alt Text” featuring a photo of a capybara. Parts of alt text are divided by color, including identify who, expression, description, colour, and interesting features. The finished description reads “A capybara looking relaxed in a hot spa. Yellow yuzu fruits are floating in the water, and one is balanced on the top of the capybara’s head.” Credit to Puzzle agency, original information from Veronica With Four Eyes and veroniiiica dot com

I’ll end this thread with a graphic from Puzzle’s #AccessAlt campaign, where they turned info from my first alt text post into a shareable graphic, complete with a capybara. Take the #AltTextChallenge and make your content more accessible!

gentle reminder that #AltText stands for alternative text. its primary purpose is to provide an alternative to viewing the image in varying levels of detail.

it is NOT meant to have links, hashtags, rants, or jokes.

I love this graphic- I wanted others to access too.
I downloaded it to the free actuallyusefulai.com Alt-text generator and it came up w/ the following (see on photo) in 10 seconds.

#AltTextChallenge doesn't have to be difficult. I am not always the best at coming up with it, so I use my helper!

#AltTextChallenge !

a screenshot of the "accessibility" tab of the bluesky settings page. it includes the options "require alt text before posting" and "display larger alt text badges", both of which i have checked off to improve my user experience on this platform.

go to settings > accessibility > require alt text before posting right now.

what's your reason not to do it?

#AltTextChallenge

I was doing research for a summer trip, & looking on Facebook @ the Glacier National Park page. I came across a post from January 8th w/an image. The post described #AltText and why they include it with all images. How cool is that? Go check it out if you’re on Facebook. #AltTextChallenge #ATChat
