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.

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

@hannah it’d be wonderful if alt-text could be translated with ease from other languages into one’s own language

For me, I’d find that useful for foreign-language cartoons which might have the speech bubble text in each frame in a language I don’t understand, I’d be able to understand and enjoy the cartoon

@u0421793 The plan is definitely to tag alt text submitted with a language. I don't think translation will be in the cards, at least in the start of the project, unfortunately.
