Hello, I'm here to seek out a community of other #Disabled people and accomplices.

I'm working to build a non-profit tool to make alt text easier, and I want to connect with folks who can help guide that project toward a useful start.

I've built a proof of concept, but getting it further will take building community. I'm #Autistic, and networking does not come easy to me. Boosting this is an immense help.

More information at https://alt-text.org

Alt-Text.Org

A library of alt text written by humans, in progress. Stay tuned for a roadmap.

@hannah I am disabled in a way that makes a text often difficult as my hands are disabled and text to speech doesn't always work well. I would love a way to make adding alt text easier.

@geographile @hannah It sounds as if you to really enjoy the art of composing ALT, but I want you to know that — if, for whatever reason, you cannot generate ALT yourself — you can always tag your post #ALT4Me, which is monitored by a group of volunteers who'll reply with a description or transcription as needed.
