Alternate Text Accessibility Criteria
Alternate Text Accessibility Criteria
Purpose of this criterion
To provide text alternatives for imagesĀ
By providing alternative texts for images, we can vocalize the text by using text-to-speech technology for the benefit of users with vision disabilities.
It will also provide and alternative for "words in images" to accurately represent the image.
Note: Visual characteristics of an image many not necessarily need to be describe. It is rather important to convey the meaning of the message in the image.
