A graphic illustration with large text at the top and a cartoon person using a white cane. The background is light beige. At the top, dark blue capital letters read: “ALTERNATIVE TEXT FOR THE BLIND”. On the left is a speech-bubble icon containing a simple image placeholder (a circle sun and triangular mountain) with two short horizontal lines underneath, suggesting caption text. On the right is a simplified drawing of a person with light skin tone, dark hair, and dark sunglasses, wearing a mustard-yellow long-sleeve shirt and dark blue pants, walking to the right while holding a white cane angled down to a small dark tip on the ground. Near the upper right is a dark blue hand symbol with curved lines suggesting sound or a signal.

When creating Alternative Text for an image of an informational sign such as for a hiking trail, how verbose should it be?

Screenshot of YT comment that says: "Baroque, I wanted to say I see your effort with the closed captions and appreciate it! Keep it up!" Written by @WordyDird_art in my community tab on @BaroqueOakStudio channel.

This comment honestly made my day ✨
My videos will always have #closedcaptions, my posts here #alternativetext and my future-sometime-hopefully-soon streams will also be as #disabilityfriendly as possible.
Tell me if there is something more I can do 🌻

Image content: A dog sleeping upside down. A vignette with a text in Galician "I had to do it." Alternative text (in Galician). "I'm sorry, in particular, those who, from the defense and use of minority languages, do not use this tool. It seems to me to be an arrogant and hypocritical attitude. Give me a break 🤬."

I am sad to see many images on my timeline without alternative text (ALT). It's really a shame, lack of empathy, arrogance, forgetfulness, laziness 🤔. I don't know, I don't understand. Give me a break 🤬.

Have a good weekend.

If I repost and it does not have alternate text I apologize. However, I will always do my best to make sure any images I personally post, even if I didn’t make them, have it. #ADA #DisabilityVisibilty #AlternativeText
