Is it really so hard to copy and paste the text? Down voted. Don’t do that again.
Is it really so hard to
copy and paste the textlook at the image? Down voted. Don’t do that again.For blind peope, yes. Asshole. This is why we have rules against posting images of text.
I’m colorblind for what it’s worth and I don’t go around yelling at people for making badly colored charts I can’t understand in the rudest way possible.
The image captures the web page design / the cookie banner, it’s more than “just the words” so for a non-blind person “just post the text” is actually arguably a downgrade.
I mean this is literally the purpose of alt text, so that you can share an image and its description (which in this case should contain all the text from the image) and screen readers can do their thing.
I actually didn’t realize their was support for alt-text. The clients I’ve used the few times when I’ve posted images … I don’t recall even prompting for alt text.
Even without direct support for alt text, you can achieve the same result by posting it all in the post body.
But you should, since there are accessibility rules against low contrast.
Just because there’s a “rule” that exists somewhere in the abstract, that doesn’t mean folks should assail people for innocent mistakes. It’s also not a rule of this community. It’s not a rule of the instance this community is a part of. It’s most definitely not a rule of “the platform.”
In fact, these the W3C (the body most people are seemingly citing as a source for rules) isn’t even calling their “rules”, rules. They call them “guidelines” https://www.w3.org/WAI/standards-guidelines/.
Ya, I’m colorblind, but you’re probably not and you probably didn’t think about it. You’re just some random person on the internet, you’ve probably got plenty of other things to worry about than hunting down the latest WC3 publication on accessibility.
To be clear, I do let folks know if there’s a chart I’m interested in reading that I can’t read, try to give feedback about colorblind relevant stuff, etc. (literally last night I was on the Deadlock forums giving Valve accessibility feedback). I just do it in a “matter of the fact” fashion and try to explain what I’m struggling with rather than with an attitude and command that they change something without any context.
There are nicer ways to say this.
“For the sightly impaired, indeed my good chum! Tis the crux of why we uphold our most sacred vows in the context of textual imagery.”
Dictation apps have trouble with text in images, which is tough for people with impaired vision
😮so there is really no OCR in those dictation apps 🤯? Is there a OCR API in iOS? If so, it should not be too hard integrating it into an app 🤔 I assume
That seems like a lemmy limitation that probably needs worked on (i.e. prompting for alt text for images so apps can just read the alt text and folks are reminded to think of it).
EDIT: It’s been brought to my attention that the Lemmy server software actually does support alt-text … but I’m not sure how prevalent this is with clients (I don’t remember ever seeing a prompt for it).
Uuuuuuuh… Have you considered that there are people who have problems with their eyes or are outright blind?
Don’t be an ass again.
You don’t have OCR in your eyes 😮? Or do you use a screen reader, there must be screen readers that can OCR, tho, or are there none?
Accessibility standards require us to not put text in images. Its not hard to copy and paste the text.
What standards?
W3C is the big one that I know
But surely there’s others as well
