⁂iwein⁂<p>I got into a couple of interactions around alt-text recently again. Actionable advice before opinion:</p><p>Use <a href="https://mas.to/tags/alt4me" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>alt4me</span></a> <a href="https://mas.to/tags/alt4you" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>alt4you</span></a> and/or one of the altbots out there. The dynamic is wholesome, and it helps both content creators and <a href="https://mas.to/tags/visuallyImpaired" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>visuallyImpaired</span></a> </p><p>And don't be a jerk about it. </p><p>I'm looking for help to do better here, so I'll share an opinion of three parts:<br>1. what is good alt-text <br>2. how to improve alt-text<br>3. how not to be a jerk<br> <br>I'm hoping for your feedback, so don't be shy (1/…)</p>

She lives in France.<br>But someone told her he connected these glasses to the free application Seeing AI, and that works great apparently.<br>I'd be very interested to know more about it, as I'll visit her soon and we could buy them and set them up together.<br>Has anyone tried them?<br>Thanks!<br><a href="https://piaille.fr/tags/a11y" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>a11y</span></a></p>
