Er zijn hier mensen die deelnemen aan Mastodon met een schermlezer. Om zich te kunnen voorstellen wat er is gepost, hebben zij een zo gedetailleerd mogelijke beschrijving van de foto nodig. U voert dit in wanneer u de foto uploadt. Anders meldt de schermlezer alleen "afbeelding zonder beschrijving", verder niets. <a href="https://troet.cafe/tags/AltTextMovement" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>AltTextMovement</span></a></p>

Aral Balkan<p>Here’s a good guide for writing alternative text for images so people who use screen readers can also take part:</p><p><a href="https://www.sc.edu/about/offices_and_divisions/digital-accessibility/guides_tutorials/alternative_text/step-by-step-instructions-alt-text/alt-text-examples/index.php" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank"><span class="invisible">https://www.</span><span class="ellipsis">sc.edu/about/offices_and_divis</span><span class="invisible">ions/digital-accessibility/guides_tutorials/alternative_text/step-by-step-instructions-alt-text/alt-text-examples/index.php</span></a></p><p><a href="https://mastodon.ar.al/tags/a11y" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>a11y</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.ar.al/tags/accessibility" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>accessibility</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.ar.al/tags/inclusivity" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>inclusivity</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.ar.al/tags/web" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>web</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.ar.al/tags/fediverse" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>fediverse</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.ar.al/tags/mastodon" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>mastodon</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.ar.al/tags/twitterMigration" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>twitterMigration</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.ar.al/tags/altText" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>altText</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.ar.al/tags/altTextMovement" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>altTextMovement</span></a></p>
