Sure that sounds nice, but what to do with user uploaded images? I cannot describe them with words since they can be whatever.
Is "user uploaded photo" good enough for example? The best would of course be to analyze the contents of the photo but that is simply not realistic for the stuff I work on.
- detaro 6y agothat's of course not perfect, but you can give users the option to provide their own description. (Twitter does it, altough they've sadly hidden it well, so only some niche bubbles do it)
- ecmascript 6y agoI can do it, but for the app I work on I believe very few would use such a feature. But I'll think about implementing it if I have the time in the future
- the_other 6y agoIn the context of your application, does it matter? (I assume it does, but it’s worth asking the question because all apps, and pages in apps are different). What are the images for? Do they have text accompanying them? Are there themes to the images? Can you convey the same meaning and intent another way? Can you educate your users to help you out? The answers to these questions should guide your solutions to access requirements. Alt text isn’t only about providing a description of an image, it’s one tool in a toolbox to improve access to information.
