Hi, wondering how to write good image descriptions and #AltText? Here's a detailed breakdown for you 🧵 [I am not claiming to be an expert, this advice is based on my personal experience as a visually impaired person.]
I wonder if it just me, but I feel the writing quality of #AudioDescriptions has dropped a lot recently. What does everyone think?

Hello everyone in 2023 I had hosted a challenge on Twitter called #WritersMayhemOfMay It had 3 parts, a 7 day Q/A, a 7 day Snippet Share, and then a Make A Playlist party where everyone suggest songs that fit the vibes of book pitches I was wondering if anyone would be interested if I did it again?
The possibility of AI scraping alt text is not an excuse to throw disabled people under the bus. The goal is to get rid of AI, not to get rid of disabled people.
Accessibility Awareness@a11yawareness.bsky.social · 4mo agoSome are suggesting you deliberately write inaccurate or confusing alt text, because they say this confuses AI scrapers that are analyzing images. The purpose of alt text is to help people who cannot see the image. Deliberately misrepresenting the image is a gross misuse of alt text. Don't do it.

Don't forget transcripts for video and audio. These will help blind users and low-vision users, deaf and hard-of-hearing users, people with ADHD, and people with audio-processing disorders. Transcripts also benefit search engines, people in quiet spaces, and people in a hurry.

Hi everyone! Don't know if you remember but in 2022 and 2023 i used to host a writing prompt every Sunday called #SundaysSoftness. It was mainly on Twitter, though I had done a few on BlueSky. I was wondering if anyone would be interested if I started it again here and on Twitter?

To avoid being censored by social media platforms, some people intentionally misspell words or replace letters with symbols or numbers. This causes confusion and problems for screen reader users, people with cognitive and reading disabilities, and people learning the language.

I'm often asked after my talks, "How do I get started with accessibility?" because there's so much information that some just don't know where to start. I've put together a list of role-based resources to serve as a starting point. rightbadcode.com/accessibilit... #Accessibility #A11y

I'm going to scream. For whatever reason, Meta has apparently removed the ability to schedule Facebook and Instagram posts with alt text in Meta Business Suite. That's incredibly frustrating, especially for smaller content creators who can't afford third-party management tools. #Accessibility
