Alt Text Hall of FameApr 29, 2024

A few extra seconds of your time it takes to add a good image description can really improve someone's day.

"To a totally blind person like me it means a lot to have a picture in my mind of your images, especially the animal pics."

"I don't know what it is, but as a blind user it's making me emotional to be able to actually interact with content."

@alttexthalloffame Nice guide. Just a comment on the example. One may not necessarily know what a capybara is and therefore how it looks. Adding some information on its interesting features wouldn't be too much work, I believe.

@Erik @Alt Text Hall of Fame This is what I keep saying and what people keep failing to understand.

If something is obscure enough, then people won't know what it is, but they may need to know to understand your post. So you'll have to explain it. Also, blind or visually-impaired people won't know what it looks like, but they may want to know. So you'll have to describe it.
