If Apple's VoiceOver can't read your website, then yeah, you have some work to do. Because it isn't just visually disabled people who suffer (though they suffer dis-proportionally), it's the rest of us, too, who might benefit from some automation. An Apple Shortcut on my phone to just slam a $MY_USUAL in the queue with a button press or Siri command, for example. And if JAWS can't read it, VoiceOver can't handle it, then I'll bet Selenium doesn't have much of an easier time with it, so how much did you really test this, and how much ongoing testing is there?
I could go on but at the end of the day, JFC, Domino's would rather let this go to court than add some alt-text? (Which all it would have taken to shut this guy up and made him go away.) I hope they lose just on the principle of their stubbornness.
- vicodin 7y agofyi,"just add alt-text" doesn't come as good comment as there is already too less awareness about accessibility related practices in web community but I guess you already knew it.
- mikestew 7y agoYou're absolutely right in that it is not an educational comment. I guess I was considering that I was "preaching to the choir", or plainly, speaking to those who already knew what needs to be done.
