If you've ever wondered if anyone ever reads the Alt Text you add to your photos…

A few days I posted a photo which included a pun in the Alt Text and since then I've now received a bunch of notes about the joke. Which is delightful. Folks are reading 'em, so keep on writing the Alt Text.

@_Davidsmith also, even if an image is mostly just text, some screen readers may not be able to automatically understand certain fonts, so adding ALTtext, even just on text images, makes things easier for those who absolutely need it! 🙏

@_Davidsmith always good to hear this! Sometimes I wonder if I’m writing alt text for no one at all. Maybe I should put more jokes in mine 😝

SocialSpirit,

@_Davidsmith I read ‘em all the time. It’s made me be more creative and descriptive with my own Alt Text entries.

@_Davidsmith I can see all the pictures but often pop open the ALT to read it - am often amazed at how lovely it is.

@_Davidsmith In some clients "alt text" is just displayed with image anyway, so yeah, another cause to write it to add extra context!
