Thanks for the info!
I'm with the author in that this is a nifty trick, similar in some way to the map element (https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/HTML/Element/map https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/HTML/Element/ma...), but it's one of the least accessible web pages I've ever seen.

- wongarsu 4y agoI find the screen reader experience of - image: handwritten.blog - image: handwritten post - link (image): comment on this post - link (image): read the transcript of this post - link (image): back to main page not bad at all. Sure, it would be better if the transcript was just part of the page, but I understand the tradeoff and it's quick enough to get to the transcript.
- petepete 4y agoI didn't even notice the transcript text down there! That's better but still far from ideal.
- iudqnolq 4y agoYeah, the page could be more accessible to users who don't use a screen reader but don't want to parse small handwriting. If you had a screen reader you'd hear literally only: - Link, image with alt handwritten.blog - Link, image with alt Comment on this post - Link, image with alt Read the transcript - Link, image with alt Back to main page I think it'd be less confusing if the main body had an alt. It would just be a short FYI that there's also a big image of text and that the transcript reproduces it. But the transcript would be a lot harder to miss with a screen reader!
