Alt Text - Just The Tips

Looking to up your alt text game?

Our comrade in alt, the @alttexthalloffame, has some great tips on what to consider when writing your image descriptions: mastodon.social/@alttexthallof

Everyone has their own style and method! For best accessibility it helps to make sure the core image description is made early, and then work in the vibe narrative and more artistic elements.

Quick example to follow in the next toot!

ALT text copied and pasted from the linked website: An infographic titled “How To Write 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.”
