So altbot kindly added alt text so screen readers can describe your photos. And told us how much of the climate it damaged to do it.
Reminded me to check my own photos and links.

GAAD is our kind of celebration – because accessibility isn’t extra, it’s essential.

Want to make your content more accessible? Start with alt text. Without it, images are invisible to blind and low vision users. With it, everyone gets to be part of the story. 🖼️🔤

The word “Before” and the alt text below it says, “Party Time.” There is a photo of a group of five friends wearing party hats gather indoors. One person holds a cake with lit candles while the others smile and laugh, celebrating happily. Warm lights glow softly in the background, creating a festive atmosphere.The word “After” with the alt text below it, “Five friends celebrating as the birthday girl is about to blow out candles on a chocolate birthday cake.”The word “Before” with alt text below, “a pie chart.” There is a photo of a pie chart with the small portion labeled “Accessible” and the large portion labeled “Inaccessible”.The word “After” with the alt text below saying, “Pie chart showing 70% of websites are inaccessible to people with disabilities."

@Glastomichelle #alttextmatters a photograph of a stone structure atop Glastonbury Tor at sunrise. A gravel path leads to the tower, which is illuminated by the rising sun, which has transformed the sky into a myriad colours, from deepest purple along the horizon, through golden orange reflecting from the clouds above.

🌟 **AI-Generated Alt Text as Assistive Tech? Absolutely!** 🌟

When AI is used to create alt text for images, it's not just a cool tech trick—it’s **empowerment**! 💪✨ By describing images for people who are blind or visually impaired, AI makes the digital world more accessible. 🌐

🖼️ **Alt text** bridges the gap between sight and understanding for those using screen readers 🎧, allowing them to experience images through rich, meaningful descriptions. 🌈 When AI helps create these descriptions, it’s contributing directly to **assistive technology**! 🛠️

Let's recognize that AI’s role in accessibility isn’t just about innovation—it’s about **inclusion**. 💖 Everyone deserves to navigate and enjoy the digital world equally! 🌍💬

An artistic representation of an eye formed by circuitry and digital components, symbolizing artificial intelligence or machine vision. The eye is rendered in striking shades of pink and teal, with circuit board patterns forming the iris and pupil. The title "The Blind AI Blog" appears below, creating an intriguing contrast between vision and blindness. The image conveys themes of technology, perception, and the intersection of human and artificial intelligence in a visually striking and thought-provoking manner.

Today I would like to thank everyone who takes the time to add #altText to their images of bodies of text too small for my old eyes to read without getting off my butt and finding my reading glasses.

My very comfy butt thanks you too.

The internet is already off here, and apparently the cell coverage isn't great, so I have been reading a lot of alt text while I wait for photos to load, and sometimes just boop yer delightful alt text descriptions without ever getting to see the images.
In case you thought alt text didn't matter.
