So almost every image I have seen today lacked alt text. Click Settings Click Accessibility Check both boxes Alt text matters, not everyone here can see, and even for those of us that can alt text allows you to add a description and context for your images. BE INCLUSIVE #AltText

Do you believe automated accessibility tools will ever reach the levels of accuracy they claim? And, do you think AI will change the game? I’m speaking about this topic next month at @accessgiven.bsky.social conference. If you’re interested tickets are £119: accessgiven.co.uk #accessibility #a11y
