This is a good thread about how to write effective alt text for your posts!

#AccessibilityTips #AltText #A11y

Alt text needs to convey what is in the image but how flowery or detailed should you be?

Generally, the description needs to match the importance of the image. If the focus of the post is the image, give it a detailed description. If it's just decorative, write that.

However, for other things....

Accessibility tip: capitalise each word in your hashtags, #LikeThis! This helps visually impaired users, whose assistive technologies will be better able to announce the hashtags as distinct words. And it helps with readability for sighted users, too! #AccessibilityTips #MakeTheWorldAccessible

To all the awesome people using #AltText on their images, I love you. You make me feel included. Thanks.

💬 “Use HTML.”
– Says Lindsay, the accessibility-aware design and developer whisperer
Why HTML? Because HTML already has accessibility baked in.
(Also: don’t reinvent the button, = friends.)

The role="presentation" attribute strips an HTML element of its default semantics, rendering it similar to a div or span. This is helpful when an element is employed solely for controlling presentation or layout, or when its native semantics aren't suitable. #accessibilitytips

Accessibility for autistic and neurodivergent teens includes sensory-friendly environments, clear communication, extra processing time, and space for stimming or movement breaks.

Another habit I’ve picked up is capitalising every word when tagging.
I read somewhere that it helps screen readers to differentiate words, and not run them together into one big nonsense word. #AccessibilityTips

Capitalize each new word to make your hashtags easier to read, and follow this account for other helpful #AccessibilityTips

In hashtags, it helps if each new word starts with a capital letter. Otherwise, sighted users could see a string of letters and not immediately know where one word ends and a new word begins. Capitalized words also help screen readers properly read out the hashtag.

#BlueSkyTips / #AccessibilityTips:

To generate Alt-text you can get help from the Be My AI feature in @bemyeyes.bsky.social app. But pls make sure to edit to improve accuracy.

You can also include #Alt4me or Alt4me in text to get a volunteer from the community to do for you. Pls don't abuse it.

This thread has basics on how to use alt-text. But what is a good alt-text? Another topic for #AccessibilityTips. Sidenotes: Don't use them as SEO keyword list.

(It also needs more evidence whether unfortunately Meta apps suppress content with actual alt-text by many people's experience.)

Quick tips 101 for More Accessible Communications online:

1. Use alt-text on images and videos.

Some apps make it a bit hard to find, but it's usually at the "More options" if nowhere else. Here on BlueSky you can make the platform prompt you to add one from your account settings. See pics. 1/
Screenshot of settings tab on BlueSky. The settings' options are listed vertically. The option "Accessibility" is highlighted. It is the seventh row from the top. Screenshot of the content of the Accessibility settings. First one is about ALT-text. On the first toggle option you can turn on requirement to add ALT-text before posting. The second one gives you option to make the ALT-text tags bigger on other's pictures and videos. The second topic is about disabling haptic feedback.

Then the next thing: hashtags and separating words with a Capital Letter.

Screenreaders often just blurt out the letters, making the rest of the hashtag just alphabet gurgle.

Write each starting word with a big letter: eg. #AccessibilityTips.

(Some remember the Icelandic Pizza Album Party.)
