@lhgmk2 Don't let the cynicism overtake your heart, my friend. I understand your views on alt texts, but at the same time, visually impaired people do exist.

A tiny wireless eye implant has been developed that may help to restore loss of central vision. In a clinical study, many blind older adults who received the implant regained enough clarity to recognise letters and short words: zurl.co/kE1j6

Game idea that probably won't work: You are locked into a walled garden and have to explore it to solve the puzzles and get out. BUT! There are no graphics. Only audio. Because you are blind. #game #idea #tryanything #explore #visuallyimpaired

What an amazing thing!
"The glasses can scan receipts, the teacher said. Summarize brochures. Read directions. It’s hands-free, especially helpful when one hand is holding a harness."

Does tagging posts actually help? Like, if I tag a post with all my bullshit will I meet fun new mutuals or will evil rain down upon me?
Let's see:

If you know of any cool tags that might suit me, lmk :3

From boarding a carriage to finding a seat and being able to tell if a toilet is engaged, travelling by train as a #VisuallyImpaired passenger is fraught with challenges.
This article draws attention to the #accessibility problems passengers face daily: zurl.co/3TTXm

During half term, the older #Blind and #VisuallyImpaired children we support took part in a Try a Train session designed to build confidence and independence when using public transport.
Thank you to @SCRPCIC for making this opportunity possible.

AI is helping #VisuallyImpaired people access visual feedback about their bodies, but the emotional and psychological consequences are only just starting to emerge.
This article explores the pros and cons and what #AI tools people are utilising online: zurl.co/5W04R

Last week we ran a shopping skills session with the Berkshire Sensory Consortium.
We explored everything the #Blind and #VisuallyImpaired teenagers we support need to shop independently, including: money, finding items in the shop, seeking assistance, using tech to find deals.

Half-term fun! Last week was full of laughter, excitement, learning, and adventures. Our birds of prey visit was a real highlight, the #Blind and #VisuallyImpaired children we support got to feel the feathers and experience the birds up close.

Italy and its art-filled, archaeological cities haven't always been overly welcoming to visitors with #disabilities. However, it's incredible to see the creative steps forward in recent times as it works to make the country more accessible for #VisuallyImpaired people: zurl.co/Tq8VA

Just had to remove someone from the starter pack because their last like 5 posts didn't use alt text. I don't get it, but ok. Lmk if you want to be added or if you know any #VTubers who use proper Alt text and would like to be added ❤️

Photographers (and anyone else who uses alt-text):
Did you know that, if you capitalise each word in a tag (for instance #BelieveInFilm), text-to-speech software as used by #VisuallyImpaired people will pronounce the tag word for word rather than as one word?

New research from @rnib.bsky.social shows that a lack of #accessibility - both physical and digital - makes independent train travel challenging for a significant percentage of people who are #blind and #VisuallyImpaired. 🚆🧑🦯 #BlindNewWorld

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?
Feel free to share your thoughts in the comments ~ Jim
