Best use of link to describe image for visually impaired
Hello,
I hope this is the correct forum to post this question. I have several images in an ebook that need a longer description than an alt tag. I have made a long description area. The link to that long description is at the bottom of the image. It says "More information." But that does not seem like a good idea. For those who can see adequately it might confuse them to click on it. I am trying to think of a good link name and perhaps people here already have a good one. "Information for visually impaired"? "Description for visually impaired"? "Image described"? These don't strike me as adequate. Thanks, Tom |

I'd be inclined to follow what is done for video media. Here are tags used...
Personally I like "Description for visually impaired" |

Hi Karellen,
I am not sure what those tags mean. Tom |

Screen-reader accessible text available? Textual description for visually impaired? Or maybe, Text description of this image? Image described by text? *More* information definitely doesn't feel quite right. The image is giving the sighted user information, while a long description in text is meant to deliver the *same* information to the visually impaired reader. Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk |

"Text description of this image" sounds like the best idea.
Thanks! |
