sight- or cognitive - impaired people: what is the best way to describe images that would be most helpful for you? usually i try to describe what i see in the image in general and then what i think is the most interesting or specific details, but please let me know if/how/when i can make my descriptions better. i cannot find a proper set of guidelines for standardization so i can share cool images with you too, and am not sure where to start!
thank you. 💛
@extinctsnakes
My favorite guidelines on image descriptions are here (you can scroll down to "Let’s create the perfect alt-text!"). https://axesslab.com/alt-texts/
This was written for websites but you can ignore the technical stuff and it's just as applicable to social media.
@hollyamory thank you very much! i dont want to find resources myself and then post them because i am not visually impaired, and am not sure what is accurate or helpful.
