Reposted by Matt C.Accessibility Awareness @a11yawareness.bsky.social · 13/10/2026Don't forget to add alt text on Instagram and Facebook, too. When you forget, the auto-generated alt text is not as helpful, complete, or accurate as human-written alt text. A.I. can't know the purpose of a photo. Always add your own alt text on Instagram and Facebook. 0156

Reposted by Matt C.Accessibility Awareness @a11yawareness.bsky.social · 26/09/2026When using Microsoft Word or Google Docs, don't just make text bigger and bolder to make it a heading. That will work for sighted users, but screen reader users will miss that and just hear it as normal paragraph text. Use actual heading styles, like level 1 through 6. 0155
Reposted by Matt C.Accessibility Awareness @a11yawareness.bsky.social · 23/09/2026For beginners, it can be difficult to know what to put in alt text, as well as when alt text is needed and when it isn't.

Matt C. @mattcord.bsky.social · 22/09/2026I think it's because some of the Digivolutions are based on the Digivolutions from the Virtual Pets. But later Seasons (Adventure 02 and Tamers for example), have Digivolutions that look similar to their previous forms. 010
Reposted by Matt C.Accessibility Awareness @a11yawareness.bsky.social · 19/09/2026For screen readers to recognize headings, heading text can't just be body text or normal text that's been made to look bigger and bolder. It must be formatted as a heading. In Microsoft Word and Google Docs, this can be done in the styles box. In HTML, use the tags h1 through h6. 0155

Reposted by Matt C.Accessibility Awareness @a11yawareness.bsky.social · 03/09/2026The same photo could appear on three different pages and require different alt text for each instance. The alt text for an image can vary, depending on the context of the image, its role on the page, and the intended message. 02612
Reposted by Matt C.Accessibility Awareness @a11yawareness.bsky.social · 01/09/2026You don't necessarily need to say "image of" in your alt text for users to know it's an image. Screen readers will announce that it's an image. But it can help readers to specify if it's a hand-drawn image, Polaroid, infographic, screenshot, chart, map, diagram, or so on. 04123
Reposted by Matt C.Accessibility Awareness @a11yawareness.bsky.social · 31/08/2026An emoji has a coded description that gets read aloud by screen readers. Putting emoji in between text could cause confusion or make content less clear. It's best to put emoji at the end of written content. 02114

Reposted by Matt C.Accessibility Awareness @a11yawareness.bsky.social · 29/08/2026You don't necessarily want to use the exact same alt text each time a specific image is used. Alt text must consider the context of the image and why it's being included on a site, post, article, etc. In other words, alt text depends on where you're including the image and why. 0278

These might be cheaper and faster than captions written by humans, but ASR captions are less accurate. If you do use ASR captions, don't forget to have humans edit them before publishing. 0164
