- Summary:
- "The purpose of this workbook is not to tell you how to write alt- text. There are many existing resources that provide guidelines and how-tos (you can find a few listed in the Tools section). Our primary intent is to put alt-text on your radar (if it wasn't already), to get you thinking about it creatively, and to explore a few of the key questions that come up when translating images into text. We hope these exercises make clear that, like all accessibility practices, writing alt-text requires ongoing practice, learning, and collaboration. The needs and wants of blind and low vision people in your community should take priority over a workbook like this. And certainly, if you are part of an organization or institution, you should be hiring disabled people (both for access work and throughout your organization including leadership roles). We also want to note that our thinking about alt-text is shifting and changing all the time. And of course, people have lots of different opinions about how to approach alt-text. So take all of this with a grain of salt, seek out alternate viewpoints, and feel free to disagree."-- provided by distributor.
