00:00:04,220 --> 00:00:09,120
welcome to equidox webinar Wednesdays

3
00:00:07,280 --> 00:00:11,639
today we're going to be talking about

4
00:00:09,120 --> 00:00:12,900
tagging images and ALT text best

5
00:00:11,639 --> 00:00:15,000
practices

6
00:00:12,900 --> 00:00:17,340
so many of you may have been on our

7
00:00:15,000 --> 00:00:19,260
previous webinars but we do again thank

8
00:00:17,340 --> 00:00:21,000
you for for attending today and for your

9
00:00:19,260 --> 00:00:23,520
time and attention this afternoon

10
00:00:21,000 --> 00:00:25,199
just before we get started just keep in

11
00:00:23,520 --> 00:00:27,420
mind that if you have any follow-up

12
00:00:25,199 --> 00:00:29,340
questions or would like any more

13
00:00:27,420 --> 00:00:32,939
information regarding equidox visit our

14
00:00:29,340 --> 00:00:32,939
website at www.equidocs.co

15
00:00:33,300 --> 00:00:38,399
okay I'm going to jump into Equinox talk

16
00:00:35,340 --> 00:00:41,399
a little bit about how um how we can

17
00:00:38,399 --> 00:00:43,260
provide alt text for images using the

18
00:00:41,399 --> 00:00:45,719
equidox interface

19
00:00:43,260 --> 00:00:48,420
so the first thing I want to do is uh

20
00:00:45,719 --> 00:00:50,820
just jump into a sample document here

21
00:00:48,420 --> 00:00:52,739
and many of you who have used equidox

22
00:00:50,820 --> 00:00:54,420
before are probably familiar with this

23
00:00:52,739 --> 00:00:57,120
so this might be a little bit of a

24
00:00:54,420 --> 00:00:59,039
review but it's always good to talk

25
00:00:57,120 --> 00:01:01,260
about best practices for writing alt

26
00:00:59,039 --> 00:01:02,699
text and also how to sort of streamline

27
00:01:01,260 --> 00:01:04,440
your approach to doing that Within

28
00:01:02,699 --> 00:01:06,720
equidox

29
00:01:04,440 --> 00:01:09,720
so um when you arrive at the document

30
00:01:06,720 --> 00:01:12,720
detail page of the PDF document the

31
00:01:09,720 --> 00:01:14,820
images tab is the third tab in from the

32
00:01:12,720 --> 00:01:17,700
from the left and if you ever select

33
00:01:14,820 --> 00:01:20,880
this images tab what you'll see in your

34
00:01:17,700 --> 00:01:23,820
document is a Consolidated list of

35
00:01:20,880 --> 00:01:25,680
images that are currently located in the

36
00:01:23,820 --> 00:01:28,259
document so

37
00:01:25,680 --> 00:01:30,900
um you are then responsible as the

38
00:01:28,259 --> 00:01:33,119
remediator of this document to provide

39
00:01:30,900 --> 00:01:35,040
alt text for these images

40
00:01:33,119 --> 00:01:38,400
now one thing that's important to

41
00:01:35,040 --> 00:01:41,040
remember about alt text is the context

42
00:01:38,400 --> 00:01:42,900
within the document so that's a big

43
00:01:41,040 --> 00:01:46,619
theme that we'll be talking a lot about

44
00:01:42,900 --> 00:01:48,720
today is the context for how is how does

45
00:01:46,619 --> 00:01:51,420
this image relate to the document that

46
00:01:48,720 --> 00:01:54,720
is around it so when you see different

47
00:01:51,420 --> 00:01:57,299
images you might you might be wondering

48
00:01:54,720 --> 00:01:59,640
like how how in depth do I need to go in

49
00:01:57,299 --> 00:02:02,939
describing the whether it's people or

50
00:01:59,640 --> 00:02:05,759
objects or logos it really does depend

51
00:02:02,939 --> 00:02:07,259
on the context of the document and what

52
00:02:05,759 --> 00:02:10,920
the actual publisher of that document

53
00:02:07,259 --> 00:02:13,080
was trying to convey now since I'm here

54
00:02:10,920 --> 00:02:15,420
on the images tab within equidox I'm

55
00:02:13,080 --> 00:02:17,280
looking down this list of images and I'm

56
00:02:15,420 --> 00:02:20,160
seeing things that look like you know

57
00:02:17,280 --> 00:02:22,800
logos that sort of looks like a sort of

58
00:02:20,160 --> 00:02:25,739
a black background image I have little

59
00:02:22,800 --> 00:02:27,840
gray squares here I'm not really able to

60
00:02:25,739 --> 00:02:29,459
tell exactly what's going on with these

61
00:02:27,840 --> 00:02:31,860
images and the context in which they're

62
00:02:29,459 --> 00:02:34,379
surrounded by by simply looking at these

63
00:02:31,860 --> 00:02:36,360
thumbnails now if you are familiar with

64
00:02:34,379 --> 00:02:37,920
the document if you do know exactly what

65
00:02:36,360 --> 00:02:41,519
these images are and what they represent

66
00:02:37,920 --> 00:02:43,319
you are able to use this images tab and

67
00:02:41,519 --> 00:02:45,780
then provide your alt text right here

68
00:02:43,319 --> 00:02:47,760
from within the same location so you can

69
00:02:45,780 --> 00:02:49,739
really streamline your approach to to

70
00:02:47,760 --> 00:02:50,940
tagging these images by using the images

71
00:02:49,739 --> 00:02:53,700
tab

72
00:02:50,940 --> 00:02:55,319
so providing your alt text it might be

73
00:02:53,700 --> 00:02:57,120
just a few words it might be a full

74
00:02:55,319 --> 00:02:58,800
sentence but you can just go right down

75
00:02:57,120 --> 00:03:01,620
the line and start typing in your alt

76
00:02:58,800 --> 00:03:04,140
text and then the key to remember is to

77
00:03:01,620 --> 00:03:06,180
save your image properties when you're

78
00:03:04,140 --> 00:03:08,400
done adding alt text here from the image

79
00:03:06,180 --> 00:03:09,780
from the images tab so there's a button

80
00:03:08,400 --> 00:03:11,340
at the bottom to save the image

81
00:03:09,780 --> 00:03:13,560
properties and then there's also a

82
00:03:11,340 --> 00:03:15,000
button in the top right hand corner as

83
00:03:13,560 --> 00:03:16,440
well

84
00:03:15,000 --> 00:03:18,540
um there's a lot of different ways to

85
00:03:16,440 --> 00:03:19,800
utilize this images tab and perhaps I'll

86
00:03:18,540 --> 00:03:21,680
just return to this on a different

87
00:03:19,800 --> 00:03:24,659
document but I actually want to get into

88
00:03:21,680 --> 00:03:26,580
this specific document to get a little

89
00:03:24,659 --> 00:03:28,620
bit more context as to what these images

90
00:03:26,580 --> 00:03:31,260
actually are and what they represent so

91
00:03:28,620 --> 00:03:32,760
we can start providing all text so in

92
00:03:31,260 --> 00:03:34,440
this case I'm not really able to

93
00:03:32,760 --> 00:03:35,760
determine you know what is this black

94
00:03:34,440 --> 00:03:37,500
background mean what does this gray

95
00:03:35,760 --> 00:03:41,099
square mean I'm going to actually jump

96
00:03:37,500 --> 00:03:44,099
into the document to take a look at them

97
00:03:41,099 --> 00:03:46,739
um so when you open up the document and

98
00:03:44,099 --> 00:03:49,019
you arrive in inside here you can see

99
00:03:46,739 --> 00:03:50,280
that um that black background that we

100
00:03:49,019 --> 00:03:53,640
were seeing on the first on the images

101
00:03:50,280 --> 00:03:55,680
tab is very clearly sort of just the

102
00:03:53,640 --> 00:03:57,480
background image for this entire slide

103
00:03:55,680 --> 00:03:58,519
which is the slide deck that we're using

104
00:03:57,480 --> 00:04:01,860
today

105
00:03:58,519 --> 00:04:04,019
and since uh I'm not really going to be

106
00:04:01,860 --> 00:04:06,379
able to describe this image and provide

107
00:04:04,019 --> 00:04:08,819
any real value to the to the document

108
00:04:06,379 --> 00:04:12,480
this is an example of an image that you

109
00:04:08,819 --> 00:04:14,220
are welcome to hide an artifact so that

110
00:04:12,480 --> 00:04:17,160
you're basically removing the

111
00:04:14,220 --> 00:04:20,519
responsibility or your responsibility of

112
00:04:17,160 --> 00:04:22,620
providing all text for it so in this

113
00:04:20,519 --> 00:04:25,440
case what we want to do to get rid of

114
00:04:22,620 --> 00:04:27,000
this this black background image is

115
00:04:25,440 --> 00:04:29,520
we're going to actually just hide it by

116
00:04:27,000 --> 00:04:31,020
pressing the hide Zone button and then

117
00:04:29,520 --> 00:04:33,240
I'm going to unselect the visible

118
00:04:31,020 --> 00:04:35,520
checkbox and you'll notice that the

119
00:04:33,240 --> 00:04:37,259
actual sort of Pink Zone that was

120
00:04:35,520 --> 00:04:40,440
previously located on top of that black

121
00:04:37,259 --> 00:04:42,180
background has now disappeared from View

122
00:04:40,440 --> 00:04:44,699
this is indicating that we have

123
00:04:42,180 --> 00:04:47,639
artifacted that image and we no longer

124
00:04:44,699 --> 00:04:50,280
have to provide an ALT text for it

125
00:04:47,639 --> 00:04:52,860
now down here we have an image that we

126
00:04:50,280 --> 00:04:56,580
might find more valuable because this

127
00:04:52,860 --> 00:04:58,020
actually is our logo and perhaps the uh

128
00:04:56,580 --> 00:05:01,080
this is something that is worth

129
00:04:58,020 --> 00:05:02,880
describing with a description so in this

130
00:05:01,080 --> 00:05:05,520
case we want to provide an ALT text for

131
00:05:02,880 --> 00:05:07,259
this image so I'll select the image and

132
00:05:05,520 --> 00:05:09,660
then over here on the left hand side the

133
00:05:07,259 --> 00:05:11,940
image is probably the image properties I

134
00:05:09,660 --> 00:05:14,820
see the alt text field and I can type in

135
00:05:11,940 --> 00:05:16,740
my description so I will type in equidox

136
00:05:14,820 --> 00:05:18,660
logo

137
00:05:16,740 --> 00:05:20,699
um and maybe even a little bit further I

138
00:05:18,660 --> 00:05:24,540
can type in accessible

139
00:05:20,699 --> 00:05:24,540
PDF remediation

140
00:05:25,560 --> 00:05:31,080
okay so now I've provided that alt text

141
00:05:28,199 --> 00:05:33,120
for that image and not that is exactly

142
00:05:31,080 --> 00:05:36,120
what a screen reader will read when the

143
00:05:33,120 --> 00:05:38,580
uh when the end user navigates to this

144
00:05:36,120 --> 00:05:41,520
figure within the PDF

145
00:05:38,580 --> 00:05:43,860
let's take a look at the next page and

146
00:05:41,520 --> 00:05:46,740
get into some more images as well

147
00:05:43,860 --> 00:05:49,020
now this is an example uh this document

148
00:05:46,740 --> 00:05:52,560
here is an example of where we have um

149
00:05:49,020 --> 00:05:55,520
what we really wanted to explain was the

150
00:05:52,560 --> 00:05:58,560
frustration that an end user who is

151
00:05:55,520 --> 00:06:01,320
blind or low vision that they might

152
00:05:58,560 --> 00:06:03,300
experience working with documents that

153
00:06:01,320 --> 00:06:04,259
don't have alt descriptions for their

154
00:06:03,300 --> 00:06:07,800
images

155
00:06:04,259 --> 00:06:11,400
if you've ever had a internet connection

156
00:06:07,800 --> 00:06:13,620
issue or maybe it's uh you know your

157
00:06:11,400 --> 00:06:15,060
phone has bad service or you have a

158
00:06:13,620 --> 00:06:17,580
website that's just not behaving

159
00:06:15,060 --> 00:06:19,860
properly and you know that there's

160
00:06:17,580 --> 00:06:21,240
something going on in this image you

161
00:06:19,860 --> 00:06:23,220
can't see it though it won't render

162
00:06:21,240 --> 00:06:25,259
maybe there's like a joke on Facebook

163
00:06:23,220 --> 00:06:28,440
and you have to be able to see the image

164
00:06:25,259 --> 00:06:29,639
to understand the joke and it will not

165
00:06:28,440 --> 00:06:31,500
render because of your internet

166
00:06:29,639 --> 00:06:33,360
connection or because Facebook is down

167
00:06:31,500 --> 00:06:35,880
or something like that well that can be

168
00:06:33,360 --> 00:06:37,800
very frustrating so that is exactly what

169
00:06:35,880 --> 00:06:40,740
would happen for everyone who is blind

170
00:06:37,800 --> 00:06:43,380
or low vision or is unable to visually

171
00:06:40,740 --> 00:06:45,840
see the images if there is no alt text

172
00:06:43,380 --> 00:06:47,580
for them so keep that in mind when

173
00:06:45,840 --> 00:06:49,440
you're working on PDF documents and

174
00:06:47,580 --> 00:06:51,780
think about how frustrating it would be

175
00:06:49,440 --> 00:06:54,000
to have no context as to what these

176
00:06:51,780 --> 00:06:55,680
images are throughout an entire PDF

177
00:06:54,000 --> 00:06:57,900
document so that's why it's very

178
00:06:55,680 --> 00:07:00,120
important to take the time to go through

179
00:06:57,900 --> 00:07:01,979
and make sure that you're providing alt

180
00:07:00,120 --> 00:07:05,460
descriptions for images

181
00:07:01,979 --> 00:07:08,520
so in this case this is just a gray sort

182
00:07:05,460 --> 00:07:10,620
of uh sample image where you may have

183
00:07:08,520 --> 00:07:12,780
seen this before like on an email or a

184
00:07:10,620 --> 00:07:15,060
website that doesn't load the images

185
00:07:12,780 --> 00:07:16,080
properly so in this case I'm not

186
00:07:15,060 --> 00:07:17,940
actually going to provide an ALT

187
00:07:16,080 --> 00:07:19,740
description for this again I'm just

188
00:07:17,940 --> 00:07:20,880
going to choose to hide it and Mark it

189
00:07:19,740 --> 00:07:23,580
invisible

190
00:07:20,880 --> 00:07:26,940
and then down here um we have another

191
00:07:23,580 --> 00:07:30,660
image in this document where uh this is

192
00:07:26,940 --> 00:07:33,599
just part of the sort of uh the the

193
00:07:30,660 --> 00:07:35,699
template for this slide deck where you

194
00:07:33,599 --> 00:07:37,740
have this sort of Blue Wave down in the

195
00:07:35,699 --> 00:07:39,539
bottom right hand corner now again this

196
00:07:37,740 --> 00:07:41,460
is an example of an image that is not

197
00:07:39,539 --> 00:07:44,160
actually adding any value to the page

198
00:07:41,460 --> 00:07:46,319
it's just simply there to take up some

199
00:07:44,160 --> 00:07:48,360
space to make the page look a little bit

200
00:07:46,319 --> 00:07:50,819
nicer we don't have to go through and

201
00:07:48,360 --> 00:07:53,280
provide alt text for this type of image

202
00:07:50,819 --> 00:07:55,560
so again I'm able to hide that zone and

203
00:07:53,280 --> 00:07:56,699
Mark it invisible now if you're

204
00:07:55,560 --> 00:07:58,919
wondering

205
00:07:56,699 --> 00:07:59,940
um if you've ever used equidox before if

206
00:07:58,919 --> 00:08:00,960
you're looking at this for the first

207
00:07:59,940 --> 00:08:02,160
time

208
00:08:00,960 --> 00:08:04,380
um if you're if you're wondering the

209
00:08:02,160 --> 00:08:05,580
difference between alt text and long

210
00:08:04,380 --> 00:08:08,580
description

211
00:08:05,580 --> 00:08:12,300
um so the difference here is long

212
00:08:08,580 --> 00:08:14,039
description applies only to HTML so keep

213
00:08:12,300 --> 00:08:16,440
that in mind when you are working on

214
00:08:14,039 --> 00:08:18,840
documents think about which format you

215
00:08:16,440 --> 00:08:21,599
are going to be exporting to if you're

216
00:08:18,840 --> 00:08:25,560
going to be exporting to PDF and PDF

217
00:08:21,599 --> 00:08:28,080
only the only actual alt text that you

218
00:08:25,560 --> 00:08:29,639
type into the alt description field that

219
00:08:28,080 --> 00:08:31,560
is what's going to be attached to that

220
00:08:29,639 --> 00:08:33,300
image when you go to export the document

221
00:08:31,560 --> 00:08:36,180
anything that you type into long

222
00:08:33,300 --> 00:08:38,399
description it has no place in the PDF

223
00:08:36,180 --> 00:08:41,880
environment so it will not be exported

224
00:08:38,399 --> 00:08:44,880
this is for HTML purposes only so if you

225
00:08:41,880 --> 00:08:47,640
are exporting to HTML you can provide a

226
00:08:44,880 --> 00:08:49,740
long description which can be additional

227
00:08:47,640 --> 00:08:51,480
context for the image or it effectively

228
00:08:49,740 --> 00:08:53,580
works the way like a caption would work

229
00:08:51,480 --> 00:08:57,660
where it will actually visually appear

230
00:08:53,580 --> 00:08:58,860
uh on the HTML page so we can talk a

231
00:08:57,660 --> 00:09:00,120
little bit more about that in just a

232
00:08:58,860 --> 00:09:01,620
second

233
00:09:00,120 --> 00:09:03,800
so let's take a look at the next page

234
00:09:01,620 --> 00:09:03,800
here

235
00:09:04,560 --> 00:09:11,040
and uh here's another example of images

236
00:09:07,800 --> 00:09:13,620
where they could be compiling a document

237
00:09:11,040 --> 00:09:16,260
in it located inside of a document where

238
00:09:13,620 --> 00:09:18,060
you have uh different layers of images

239
00:09:16,260 --> 00:09:19,920
three separate images they're not

240
00:09:18,060 --> 00:09:22,440
rendering properly again it would be

241
00:09:19,920 --> 00:09:24,060
your responsibility to as the remediator

242
00:09:22,440 --> 00:09:26,339
to make sure you're providing the proper

243
00:09:24,060 --> 00:09:28,380
alt text so this page is somewhat

244
00:09:26,339 --> 00:09:30,000
similar to the first one except you can

245
00:09:28,380 --> 00:09:32,160
imagine the frustration that there would

246
00:09:30,000 --> 00:09:33,899
that you would have if you're working uh

247
00:09:32,160 --> 00:09:36,000
with a document and there's three pages

248
00:09:33,899 --> 00:09:37,800
on it uh three images on a single page

249
00:09:36,000 --> 00:09:39,480
and you do not know what's located in

250
00:09:37,800 --> 00:09:42,000
any one of them it would be very

251
00:09:39,480 --> 00:09:44,880
frustrating to try to understand the

252
00:09:42,000 --> 00:09:46,680
entire context of the document so this

253
00:09:44,880 --> 00:09:48,120
is just uh reiterating the point that

254
00:09:46,680 --> 00:09:49,560
it's very important to make sure that

255
00:09:48,120 --> 00:09:52,740
you're going through when you're working

256
00:09:49,560 --> 00:09:55,140
on documents to describe images with the

257
00:09:52,740 --> 00:09:58,080
proper alt text this is one of those

258
00:09:55,140 --> 00:10:00,540
manual parts of PDF remediation where

259
00:09:58,080 --> 00:10:03,240
there is really no way to automate it

260
00:10:00,540 --> 00:10:06,920
you have to take the time to provide a

261
00:10:03,240 --> 00:10:06,920
proper alt text for images

262
00:10:07,220 --> 00:10:15,560
so let's move forward here into

263
00:10:11,940 --> 00:10:15,560
my internet's sleeping on me

264
00:10:16,019 --> 00:10:20,279
thank you

265
00:10:17,279 --> 00:10:21,600
there we go okay

266
00:10:20,279 --> 00:10:23,519
so

267
00:10:21,600 --> 00:10:25,800
um one other thing that we wanted to

268
00:10:23,519 --> 00:10:27,240
make sure that we talk about today which

269
00:10:25,800 --> 00:10:28,740
is something that I see a lot when

270
00:10:27,240 --> 00:10:31,080
working with different clients and

271
00:10:28,740 --> 00:10:35,040
helping them with their documents

272
00:10:31,080 --> 00:10:37,380
um is alt text syntax so keep in mind

273
00:10:35,040 --> 00:10:40,080
that when an end user is interacting

274
00:10:37,380 --> 00:10:42,560
with the document the the screen reader

275
00:10:40,080 --> 00:10:46,800
is going to announce the Zone type

276
00:10:42,560 --> 00:10:49,860
whether it be an image or a graphic Zone

277
00:10:46,800 --> 00:10:51,180
um so I see this happen a lot when

278
00:10:49,860 --> 00:10:54,660
working with different with different

279
00:10:51,180 --> 00:10:58,279
clients where they will actually type in

280
00:10:54,660 --> 00:11:00,779
things like image of picture of photo of

281
00:10:58,279 --> 00:11:03,000
graphic of

282
00:11:00,779 --> 00:11:05,880
um these are this is information that's

283
00:11:03,000 --> 00:11:08,160
completely redundant the end user knows

284
00:11:05,880 --> 00:11:11,399
that the element that they are currently

285
00:11:08,160 --> 00:11:14,220
located on is an image so typing in

286
00:11:11,399 --> 00:11:15,779
image of is just providing them useless

287
00:11:14,220 --> 00:11:17,700
information because they've already been

288
00:11:15,779 --> 00:11:19,440
told that it's an image so you're just

289
00:11:17,700 --> 00:11:23,220
you're just basically having the screen

290
00:11:19,440 --> 00:11:27,660
reader read image image of uh you know

291
00:11:23,220 --> 00:11:29,339
uh painting whatever it may be so

292
00:11:27,660 --> 00:11:30,660
um this is something to keep in mind

293
00:11:29,339 --> 00:11:34,380
when you're going through and writing

294
00:11:30,660 --> 00:11:37,560
alt text now sometimes the actual type

295
00:11:34,380 --> 00:11:39,540
of image that it is can be relevant so

296
00:11:37,560 --> 00:11:41,220
again thinking about the context for

297
00:11:39,540 --> 00:11:43,680
these images

298
00:11:41,220 --> 00:11:46,380
um so if you have for example a very

299
00:11:43,680 --> 00:11:49,440
famous painting perhaps it's worth

300
00:11:46,380 --> 00:11:54,060
taking the time to type out painting of

301
00:11:49,440 --> 00:11:57,120
uh Starry Night by Vincent van Gogh or

302
00:11:54,060 --> 00:12:00,959
in this case you have an old photograph

303
00:11:57,120 --> 00:12:03,000
of Edgar Allan Poe so perhaps it's

304
00:12:00,959 --> 00:12:05,279
relevant depending on the document to

305
00:12:03,000 --> 00:12:07,680
include the fact that this isn't this is

306
00:12:05,279 --> 00:12:09,899
a photograph of Edgar Allan Poe rather

307
00:12:07,680 --> 00:12:12,480
than a sketch or a portrait drawing

308
00:12:09,899 --> 00:12:14,339
whatever it may be so it just depends on

309
00:12:12,480 --> 00:12:16,019
the type of document but it might be

310
00:12:14,339 --> 00:12:18,779
important to include that type of

311
00:12:16,019 --> 00:12:21,300
information but in most cases it's

312
00:12:18,779 --> 00:12:24,120
simply typing out image of or picture of

313
00:12:21,300 --> 00:12:26,880
is not actually adding value to the end

314
00:12:24,120 --> 00:12:28,320
user so just always keep in mind the

315
00:12:26,880 --> 00:12:30,600
type of document that you're working on

316
00:12:28,320 --> 00:12:33,980
and the context for which those images

317
00:12:30,600 --> 00:12:33,980
sit with on that page

318
00:12:36,440 --> 00:12:41,820
okay so

319
00:12:38,700 --> 00:12:43,980
um talking more about alt text short

320
00:12:41,820 --> 00:12:46,440
descriptive and relevant so what does

321
00:12:43,980 --> 00:12:49,560
the what does the end user need to know

322
00:12:46,440 --> 00:12:52,079
what the the reader I should say

323
00:12:49,560 --> 00:12:54,480
um so here we have obviously a very

324
00:12:52,079 --> 00:12:56,519
famous painting of Washington Crossing

325
00:12:54,480 --> 00:12:58,920
the Delaware so again it's just

326
00:12:56,519 --> 00:13:01,980
important to keep in mind what is the

327
00:12:58,920 --> 00:13:05,160
context within the document is this a

328
00:13:01,980 --> 00:13:07,139
document about famous old boats is this

329
00:13:05,160 --> 00:13:10,380
a document about

330
00:13:07,139 --> 00:13:12,480
um winter time in Delaware is it about

331
00:13:10,380 --> 00:13:14,279
George Washington is it about the

332
00:13:12,480 --> 00:13:16,200
Revolutionary War

333
00:13:14,279 --> 00:13:18,660
um so all of these things may be

334
00:13:16,200 --> 00:13:20,579
important and when you're deciding how

335
00:13:18,660 --> 00:13:22,440
you're writing that alt text so always

336
00:13:20,579 --> 00:13:24,660
think about context and what does the

337
00:13:22,440 --> 00:13:27,540
end user actually need to know about

338
00:13:24,660 --> 00:13:29,639
this image that adds the the right value

339
00:13:27,540 --> 00:13:31,800
to the document rather than giving them

340
00:13:29,639 --> 00:13:33,660
a bunch of fluff information that they

341
00:13:31,800 --> 00:13:35,399
don't actually need you don't

342
00:13:33,660 --> 00:13:38,220
necessarily need to go through and type

343
00:13:35,399 --> 00:13:40,620
out that there's you know 22 people on

344
00:13:38,220 --> 00:13:43,079
this rowboat there's five different ores

345
00:13:40,620 --> 00:13:45,240
one of them's wearing red they're

346
00:13:43,079 --> 00:13:46,560
holding a flag whatever it may be you

347
00:13:45,240 --> 00:13:48,779
don't necessarily need to go that

348
00:13:46,560 --> 00:13:51,480
granular with it it just really depends

349
00:13:48,779 --> 00:13:52,380
on the context so keep that in mind

350
00:13:51,480 --> 00:13:55,260
again

351
00:13:52,380 --> 00:13:58,800
so um what I mentioned before about long

352
00:13:55,260 --> 00:14:00,959
description versus Alt description if

353
00:13:58,800 --> 00:14:03,959
you are an equidox user you're probably

354
00:14:00,959 --> 00:14:05,940
aware of our HTML preview page where if

355
00:14:03,959 --> 00:14:09,120
you press this button up here you will

356
00:14:05,940 --> 00:14:11,880
see the HTML preview of the document of

357
00:14:09,120 --> 00:14:13,620
the page that you're working on so what

358
00:14:11,880 --> 00:14:16,139
I want to mention here about the long

359
00:14:13,620 --> 00:14:18,420
description is if you type in an ALT

360
00:14:16,139 --> 00:14:21,300
description for the image so let's just

361
00:14:18,420 --> 00:14:23,459
say it's George Washington

362
00:14:21,300 --> 00:14:25,440
Crossing

363
00:14:23,459 --> 00:14:28,200
Delaware

364
00:14:25,440 --> 00:14:31,320
maybe you type in a long description

365
00:14:28,200 --> 00:14:34,320
something like famous painting

366
00:14:31,320 --> 00:14:34,320
by

367
00:14:34,560 --> 00:14:38,639
artist name I can't remember the name of

368
00:14:36,600 --> 00:14:41,579
the artist but you go into more detail

369
00:14:38,639 --> 00:14:43,560
about the actual image and perhaps you

370
00:14:41,579 --> 00:14:45,060
know you want to go and describe this

371
00:14:43,560 --> 00:14:47,639
more you know the year that it was

372
00:14:45,060 --> 00:14:50,040
painted which museum it's currently

373
00:14:47,639 --> 00:14:51,899
hanging in whatever it may be when you

374
00:14:50,040 --> 00:14:53,639
look at the actual preview of the

375
00:14:51,899 --> 00:14:56,339
document you will see your long

376
00:14:53,639 --> 00:14:58,860
description actually populate here on

377
00:14:56,339 --> 00:15:01,139
the HTML preview page the alt

378
00:14:58,860 --> 00:15:03,240
description is not visible but it is in

379
00:15:01,139 --> 00:15:05,339
fact attached to this image when you go

380
00:15:03,240 --> 00:15:07,680
to export it but this is the difference

381
00:15:05,339 --> 00:15:09,899
between long description and ALT text

382
00:15:07,680 --> 00:15:12,300
the long description is only going to

383
00:15:09,899 --> 00:15:14,760
appear in the HTML and it's just a way

384
00:15:12,300 --> 00:15:17,519
of adding additional context additional

385
00:15:14,760 --> 00:15:19,260
information or effectively a caption for

386
00:15:17,519 --> 00:15:21,420
the image

387
00:15:19,260 --> 00:15:23,699
um so that is something to keep in mind

388
00:15:21,420 --> 00:15:25,920
when you are using equidox to tag your

389
00:15:23,699 --> 00:15:28,800
images anything that goes in here is

390
00:15:25,920 --> 00:15:31,160
only going to be for the uh the HTML

391
00:15:28,800 --> 00:15:31,160
export

392
00:15:36,199 --> 00:15:41,459
okay so again we have another image here

393
00:15:39,000 --> 00:15:44,760
a very famous logo of course

394
00:15:41,459 --> 00:15:47,820
um so this is another example of when

395
00:15:44,760 --> 00:15:49,920
um you know if you are just quickly

396
00:15:47,820 --> 00:15:53,699
describing an image you can probably

397
00:15:49,920 --> 00:15:55,380
just say McDonald's logo and most of the

398
00:15:53,699 --> 00:15:58,139
time everyone is going to know exactly

399
00:15:55,380 --> 00:16:01,560
what you're talking about the the golden

400
00:15:58,139 --> 00:16:04,920
arches are world famous and you don't

401
00:16:01,560 --> 00:16:08,220
necessarily need to go through and write

402
00:16:04,920 --> 00:16:11,399
out the fact that it's a red square with

403
00:16:08,220 --> 00:16:14,180
an m-shaped yellow you know sort of

404
00:16:11,399 --> 00:16:16,800
symbol with I'm loving it underneath

405
00:16:14,180 --> 00:16:20,220
this is all pretty much implied by

406
00:16:16,800 --> 00:16:22,740
simply saying McDonald's logo however if

407
00:16:20,220 --> 00:16:26,040
it's for example a marketing document

408
00:16:22,740 --> 00:16:28,500
where someone is going in in depth into

409
00:16:26,040 --> 00:16:31,500
sort of the logic behind designing logos

410
00:16:28,500 --> 00:16:33,839
perhaps it's more important to to be

411
00:16:31,500 --> 00:16:35,760
more descriptive of the sort of the

412
00:16:33,839 --> 00:16:38,040
colors that are used the the short

413
00:16:35,760 --> 00:16:39,120
caption that's used I'm loving it for

414
00:16:38,040 --> 00:16:40,980
example

415
00:16:39,120 --> 00:16:43,680
um so again it just depends on the

416
00:16:40,980 --> 00:16:45,180
context of the image and what is

417
00:16:43,680 --> 00:16:46,500
important about it within the document

418
00:16:45,180 --> 00:16:50,779
that it sits

419
00:16:46,500 --> 00:16:50,779
so again you can type in McDonald's

420
00:16:51,620 --> 00:16:57,000
logo and that is going to be an

421
00:16:54,420 --> 00:16:58,860
effective alt description for an image

422
00:16:57,000 --> 00:17:02,339
such as this I don't need to write out

423
00:16:58,860 --> 00:17:05,699
picture of McDonald's logo

424
00:17:02,339 --> 00:17:07,020
and then we also have again you know as

425
00:17:05,699 --> 00:17:09,600
you've probably noticed on every page

426
00:17:07,020 --> 00:17:11,760
this uh this small little graphic here

427
00:17:09,600 --> 00:17:14,760
that's embedded in the template of the

428
00:17:11,760 --> 00:17:16,679
of the PowerPoint which I'm going to go

429
00:17:14,760 --> 00:17:18,240
back to the images tab towards the end

430
00:17:16,679 --> 00:17:21,500
here and I'm going to explain what you

431
00:17:18,240 --> 00:17:21,500
can do with these sorts of things

432
00:17:24,900 --> 00:17:30,360
um so another image here we have another

433
00:17:26,760 --> 00:17:31,440
example of uh sort of this child in the

434
00:17:30,360 --> 00:17:33,720
kitchen

435
00:17:31,440 --> 00:17:35,520
um so how does it relate to the content

436
00:17:33,720 --> 00:17:37,919
well it depends on the document that it

437
00:17:35,520 --> 00:17:40,020
sits in so is this a document about

438
00:17:37,919 --> 00:17:43,620
excited children is this a document

439
00:17:40,020 --> 00:17:46,620
about kitchens is this a document a a

440
00:17:43,620 --> 00:17:48,840
cooking about cooking or whatever it may

441
00:17:46,620 --> 00:17:50,880
be maybe it's you know about parenting

442
00:17:48,840 --> 00:17:52,320
from home or homeschooling during a

443
00:17:50,880 --> 00:17:54,059
pandemic

444
00:17:52,320 --> 00:17:56,640
um you know kids making Messes in a

445
00:17:54,059 --> 00:17:57,900
kitchen whatever it is that that is all

446
00:17:56,640 --> 00:18:00,179
relevant

447
00:17:57,900 --> 00:18:02,039
um in in relative to the document that

448
00:18:00,179 --> 00:18:03,480
it's currently located in and that

449
00:18:02,039 --> 00:18:05,940
should be considered when writing your

450
00:18:03,480 --> 00:18:10,340
alt text as to and what detail are you

451
00:18:05,940 --> 00:18:10,340
going to go into about this image

452
00:18:13,100 --> 00:18:19,980
here is an example of another piece of

453
00:18:16,380 --> 00:18:22,500
another image where the alt text it

454
00:18:19,980 --> 00:18:24,600
might not be detailed enough in fact it

455
00:18:22,500 --> 00:18:27,179
definitely isn't detailed enough to just

456
00:18:24,600 --> 00:18:30,000
call this image image of a dog so

457
00:18:27,179 --> 00:18:32,039
sometimes diagrams uh have a lot of

458
00:18:30,000 --> 00:18:35,400
unique information located inside of

459
00:18:32,039 --> 00:18:37,620
them there is no necessarily uh you know

460
00:18:35,400 --> 00:18:38,940
textual context for them

461
00:18:37,620 --> 00:18:41,640
um you know you can see that there is

462
00:18:38,940 --> 00:18:44,340
text in fact inside of this image but a

463
00:18:41,640 --> 00:18:46,980
screen reader is not able to uh to read

464
00:18:44,340 --> 00:18:49,799
these different pieces of this diagram

465
00:18:46,980 --> 00:18:52,440
until we've provided that detail for the

466
00:18:49,799 --> 00:18:54,299
screen reader in the alt text field so

467
00:18:52,440 --> 00:18:57,780
if you arrive at an image like this and

468
00:18:54,299 --> 00:19:01,440
you just type out dog or drawing of a

469
00:18:57,780 --> 00:19:03,600
dog or dog diagram that is not enough

470
00:19:01,440 --> 00:19:05,820
context to explain what this image is

471
00:19:03,600 --> 00:19:09,539
about so this image is clearly about

472
00:19:05,820 --> 00:19:11,640
different harnesses like for leashes uh

473
00:19:09,539 --> 00:19:14,940
that a dog could wear and there's

474
00:19:11,640 --> 00:19:17,580
there's very distinct detail provided in

475
00:19:14,940 --> 00:19:20,280
this diagram where it's explaining the

476
00:19:17,580 --> 00:19:22,080
various different parts and pieces of

477
00:19:20,280 --> 00:19:25,020
the harness that goes around the dog's

478
00:19:22,080 --> 00:19:26,820
shoulders and neck and uh you know it's

479
00:19:25,020 --> 00:19:28,220
up to you as the remediator to make sure

480
00:19:26,820 --> 00:19:31,799
that you are conveying this information

481
00:19:28,220 --> 00:19:32,700
in the alt text for this for this

482
00:19:31,799 --> 00:19:35,220
diagram

483
00:19:32,700 --> 00:19:38,600
so your image for your example for your

484
00:19:35,220 --> 00:19:42,000
alt description here might be a diagram

485
00:19:38,600 --> 00:19:42,600
of a dog harness

486
00:19:42,000 --> 00:19:46,860
um

487
00:19:42,600 --> 00:19:49,620
including the shoulder strap

488
00:19:46,860 --> 00:19:51,539
connector ring

489
00:19:49,620 --> 00:19:54,000
belly strap

490
00:19:51,539 --> 00:19:56,520
chest strap

491
00:19:54,000 --> 00:19:58,740
and d-ring

492
00:19:56,520 --> 00:20:00,840
you can you can go into even further

493
00:19:58,740 --> 00:20:03,240
detail by explaining their location with

494
00:20:00,840 --> 00:20:06,360
on the strap or how this maybe goes over

495
00:20:03,240 --> 00:20:07,520
the dog's head but it's very important

496
00:20:06,360 --> 00:20:09,960
to make sure that you're including

497
00:20:07,520 --> 00:20:14,539
relevant information about the specific

498
00:20:09,960 --> 00:20:14,539
diagram as it relates to this image

499
00:20:15,919 --> 00:20:20,059
moving on to the next page here

500
00:20:21,120 --> 00:20:28,860
here we have an example of a chart so

501
00:20:25,500 --> 00:20:30,960
this is again a different type of image

502
00:20:28,860 --> 00:20:35,039
there is very distinct information

503
00:20:30,960 --> 00:20:37,500
located within a chart like this so

504
00:20:35,039 --> 00:20:40,980
um you know clearly this is a pie chart

505
00:20:37,500 --> 00:20:42,960
and you uh as the remediator it's it's

506
00:20:40,980 --> 00:20:45,419
your responsibility then to make sure

507
00:20:42,960 --> 00:20:47,460
that the actual data that is inside of

508
00:20:45,419 --> 00:20:49,260
this pie chart is conveyed through the

509
00:20:47,460 --> 00:20:51,360
alt text

510
00:20:49,260 --> 00:20:53,580
um so in this case it's a pretty simple

511
00:20:51,360 --> 00:20:55,620
pie chart there's you know it's not too

512
00:20:53,580 --> 00:20:58,080
complicated you only have

513
00:20:55,620 --> 00:20:59,580
um five separate uh variables here of

514
00:20:58,080 --> 00:21:01,380
strawberry chocolate vanilla cookie

515
00:20:59,580 --> 00:21:03,120
dough and mint so you would go through

516
00:21:01,380 --> 00:21:04,860
the alt description

517
00:21:03,120 --> 00:21:08,100
um and you could type out the actual

518
00:21:04,860 --> 00:21:10,740
percentages of the individual

519
00:21:08,100 --> 00:21:12,960
um you know flavors of of ice cream for

520
00:21:10,740 --> 00:21:15,539
example that people are that people

521
00:21:12,960 --> 00:21:16,980
describe as their favorite so

522
00:21:15,539 --> 00:21:19,799
um this would just be as simple as

523
00:21:16,980 --> 00:21:23,340
typing out uh you know pie charts

524
00:21:19,799 --> 00:21:25,500
uh favorite ice cream

525
00:21:23,340 --> 00:21:29,940
and then maybe uh you could go into the

526
00:21:25,500 --> 00:21:31,320
detail of vanilla 15 so on and so forth

527
00:21:29,940 --> 00:21:33,120
so you don't need to watch me type out

528
00:21:31,320 --> 00:21:35,039
all the different um all of the

529
00:21:33,120 --> 00:21:37,080
different flavors but that's basically

530
00:21:35,039 --> 00:21:37,980
the logic of it where you would go

531
00:21:37,080 --> 00:21:40,500
through and make sure that you're

532
00:21:37,980 --> 00:21:43,320
providing this information into the alt

533
00:21:40,500 --> 00:21:46,700
text of that image typing it in over

534
00:21:43,320 --> 00:21:46,700
here in the alt text fields

535
00:21:47,460 --> 00:21:52,080
um here the next page I believe is a

536
00:21:50,100 --> 00:21:56,100
more complicated sort of chart where we

537
00:21:52,080 --> 00:21:58,799
have a a bar charts which can actually

538
00:21:56,100 --> 00:22:00,720
contain a bit more data than your

539
00:21:58,799 --> 00:22:03,240
standard pie charts they can even get a

540
00:22:00,720 --> 00:22:05,640
lot more complicated than this

541
00:22:03,240 --> 00:22:09,000
um so it might be important in this case

542
00:22:05,640 --> 00:22:11,400
if you don't want to overload the alt

543
00:22:09,000 --> 00:22:12,659
description for the image meaning that

544
00:22:11,400 --> 00:22:15,780
you don't want to sit here and type out

545
00:22:12,659 --> 00:22:17,880
a five paragraph essay it can be very

546
00:22:15,780 --> 00:22:20,820
helpful if you have any say on the sort

547
00:22:17,880 --> 00:22:23,400
of Designing of documents uh

548
00:22:20,820 --> 00:22:25,919
document creation process when you're

549
00:22:23,400 --> 00:22:28,799
dealing with uh pipe or bar charts such

550
00:22:25,919 --> 00:22:32,039
as this it can be very helpful to also

551
00:22:28,799 --> 00:22:36,059
provide a a table version of that same

552
00:22:32,039 --> 00:22:37,740
data so tabular data it's it's fast to

553
00:22:36,059 --> 00:22:39,780
remediate in equidox as we would have

554
00:22:37,740 --> 00:22:43,020
learned in our previous webinar going

555
00:22:39,780 --> 00:22:45,120
over tables so you can remediate it very

556
00:22:43,020 --> 00:22:47,340
quickly using equidox if you have

557
00:22:45,120 --> 00:22:50,400
tabular data to represent the same

558
00:22:47,340 --> 00:22:52,380
information in this bar chart

559
00:22:50,400 --> 00:22:54,659
um so you could go through and type out

560
00:22:52,380 --> 00:22:57,179
in your alt description all of the

561
00:22:54,659 --> 00:22:58,500
different data located in this bar chart

562
00:22:57,179 --> 00:23:00,480
which would take a little bit of time

563
00:22:58,500 --> 00:23:03,360
because there is a lot of information in

564
00:23:00,480 --> 00:23:05,700
here or if you do have the option of

565
00:23:03,360 --> 00:23:07,980
having that tabular data you can always

566
00:23:05,700 --> 00:23:10,200
mark this with a high level description

567
00:23:07,980 --> 00:23:11,880
basically keeping the image there

568
00:23:10,200 --> 00:23:14,280
indicating that this is a bar chart

569
00:23:11,880 --> 00:23:16,380
about sales such and such depending on

570
00:23:14,280 --> 00:23:17,940
the context of the document and then

571
00:23:16,380 --> 00:23:21,600
make sure that you're indicating that

572
00:23:17,940 --> 00:23:23,640
the table that is to follow has all of

573
00:23:21,600 --> 00:23:26,100
that same information located in it

574
00:23:23,640 --> 00:23:28,440
because this is an easier element to

575
00:23:26,100 --> 00:23:31,080
interact with for a screen reader user

576
00:23:28,440 --> 00:23:33,539
they're able to navigate this table and

577
00:23:31,080 --> 00:23:35,880
gain all of the data from from this from

578
00:23:33,539 --> 00:23:37,679
the same chart down here but it's just

579
00:23:35,880 --> 00:23:41,360
in a much more concise and easy to work

580
00:23:37,679 --> 00:23:41,360
with format if it's in a table

581
00:23:44,400 --> 00:23:48,299
okay and then one other image type here

582
00:23:46,620 --> 00:23:51,780
that I wanted to make sure that we

583
00:23:48,299 --> 00:23:53,400
covered are I see these quite a bit but

584
00:23:51,780 --> 00:23:56,100
a lot of times you'll have sort of

585
00:23:53,400 --> 00:23:58,340
infographics and oftentimes this will be

586
00:23:56,100 --> 00:24:02,159
the entire page itself will be in

587
00:23:58,340 --> 00:24:04,940
infographic and whenever that's the case

588
00:24:02,159 --> 00:24:08,460
if you have an infographic

589
00:24:04,940 --> 00:24:10,440
it can be very difficult to take this

590
00:24:08,460 --> 00:24:11,880
image which as you can see contains a

591
00:24:10,440 --> 00:24:14,220
whole bunch of text

592
00:24:11,880 --> 00:24:15,659
and to try to plug that into a single

593
00:24:14,220 --> 00:24:17,880
alt description

594
00:24:15,659 --> 00:24:20,039
you're going to be plugging this alt

595
00:24:17,880 --> 00:24:23,580
description with a lot of data and it's

596
00:24:20,039 --> 00:24:25,380
very hard to to navigate uh decipher all

597
00:24:23,580 --> 00:24:28,440
of it as it's being read aloud to that

598
00:24:25,380 --> 00:24:30,000
end user so what you might do uh in in a

599
00:24:28,440 --> 00:24:32,340
case like this is when you have a lot of

600
00:24:30,000 --> 00:24:35,400
very densely spaced data and information

601
00:24:32,340 --> 00:24:37,320
in an infographic type of layout and

602
00:24:35,400 --> 00:24:39,720
believe me infographics can get 10 times

603
00:24:37,320 --> 00:24:43,679
more complicated than this one but what

604
00:24:39,720 --> 00:24:45,780
you might do is hide the Zone by hitting

605
00:24:43,679 --> 00:24:49,320
the hide Zone checkbox and then also

606
00:24:45,780 --> 00:24:51,780
marking it Invisible by unselecting the

607
00:24:49,320 --> 00:24:53,640
the visible button this is effectively

608
00:24:51,780 --> 00:24:56,039
artifacting that image

609
00:24:53,640 --> 00:24:58,559
so now we've essentially removed the

610
00:24:56,039 --> 00:25:01,620
image but now we can use a different

611
00:24:58,559 --> 00:25:04,380
Zone type to sort of break this dense

612
00:25:01,620 --> 00:25:08,520
and full of information type of image

613
00:25:04,380 --> 00:25:11,880
into more digestible chunks so we can

614
00:25:08,520 --> 00:25:13,919
create smaller zones such as this and

615
00:25:11,880 --> 00:25:16,020
once I've drawn The Zone I can press G

616
00:25:13,919 --> 00:25:18,539
on my keyboard and change the Zone type

617
00:25:16,020 --> 00:25:22,320
to graphic and then I'm able to actually

618
00:25:18,539 --> 00:25:25,260
type out smaller and more concise alt

619
00:25:22,320 --> 00:25:28,620
descriptions breaking this infographic

620
00:25:25,260 --> 00:25:31,320
into multiple Graphics so I could type

621
00:25:28,620 --> 00:25:34,260
out multiple descriptions about this

622
00:25:31,320 --> 00:25:36,419
graphic if I just start typing or if I

623
00:25:34,260 --> 00:25:39,980
just start creating Graphics like this

624
00:25:36,419 --> 00:25:43,260
I'm pressing G and from here I'm able to

625
00:25:39,980 --> 00:25:45,720
break down this information into smaller

626
00:25:43,260 --> 00:25:47,100
chunks which makes it a lot easier to

627
00:25:45,720 --> 00:25:48,779
work with

628
00:25:47,100 --> 00:25:50,520
um so what you'll see when I go to press

629
00:25:48,779 --> 00:25:53,100
the preview I haven't yet typed in any

630
00:25:50,520 --> 00:25:54,659
alt descriptions for these Graphics

631
00:25:53,100 --> 00:25:56,279
um so that would obviously be your

632
00:25:54,659 --> 00:25:57,659
responsibility as the remediator to make

633
00:25:56,279 --> 00:26:01,140
sure you're providing alt descriptions

634
00:25:57,659 --> 00:26:03,900
but if I go to the preview you will see

635
00:26:01,140 --> 00:26:06,179
that I have a series of small squares

636
00:26:03,900 --> 00:26:08,460
which these are representing the graphic

637
00:26:06,179 --> 00:26:11,580
zones that I just created so you've

638
00:26:08,460 --> 00:26:14,039
essentially manually created a series of

639
00:26:11,580 --> 00:26:17,340
smaller images and then you're able to

640
00:26:14,039 --> 00:26:19,679
provide that alt text to the different

641
00:26:17,340 --> 00:26:21,900
images breaking it into smaller pieces

642
00:26:19,679 --> 00:26:24,120
rather than typing out all of this

643
00:26:21,900 --> 00:26:26,220
information into a single alt text which

644
00:26:24,120 --> 00:26:28,320
would be far too many characters for an

645
00:26:26,220 --> 00:26:31,260
ALT text and too complicated to to

646
00:26:28,320 --> 00:26:32,820
listen to for the end user

647
00:26:31,260 --> 00:26:34,140
um so that's that's just another example

648
00:26:32,820 --> 00:26:36,960
that I see a lot

649
00:26:34,140 --> 00:26:39,600
I also want to make sure that we talk a

650
00:26:36,960 --> 00:26:41,279
little bit more about this images tab

651
00:26:39,600 --> 00:26:43,620
um where

652
00:26:41,279 --> 00:26:45,360
um going through we were able to see

653
00:26:43,620 --> 00:26:47,700
that for example there were a lot of

654
00:26:45,360 --> 00:26:49,919
these images here if you see this little

655
00:26:47,700 --> 00:26:52,919
Blue Wave there are quite a few images

656
00:26:49,919 --> 00:26:54,900
where they weren't actually adding value

657
00:26:52,919 --> 00:26:57,480
to the page there's no reason to go

658
00:26:54,900 --> 00:26:58,799
through and type out alt descriptions so

659
00:26:57,480 --> 00:27:00,179
these are examples of when you could

660
00:26:58,799 --> 00:27:01,919
very quickly especially if you're

661
00:27:00,179 --> 00:27:03,779
familiar with the document you could

662
00:27:01,919 --> 00:27:05,820
very quickly make these decisions to

663
00:27:03,779 --> 00:27:08,100
come through here and hide these zones

664
00:27:05,820 --> 00:27:10,260
and just artifact these images so that

665
00:27:08,100 --> 00:27:13,140
you are not having to then provide alt

666
00:27:10,260 --> 00:27:15,419
descriptions for them so this is a way

667
00:27:13,140 --> 00:27:17,880
of using the images tab to be very

668
00:27:15,419 --> 00:27:22,200
efficient with your time and then again

669
00:27:17,880 --> 00:27:24,059
it's very easy to forget to type out an

670
00:27:22,200 --> 00:27:26,340
ALT description for a little tiny blue

671
00:27:24,059 --> 00:27:28,919
wavy Square thing on the bottom right

672
00:27:26,340 --> 00:27:30,900
hand corner of your document maybe it's

673
00:27:28,919 --> 00:27:33,179
100 pages long and you forget to tag

674
00:27:30,900 --> 00:27:36,120
this on one single page well that's

675
00:27:33,179 --> 00:27:38,400
going to be um creating Flags if that

676
00:27:36,120 --> 00:27:40,320
document were to ever be audited or

677
00:27:38,400 --> 00:27:43,679
reviewed for accessibility after the

678
00:27:40,320 --> 00:27:45,179
fact so it's easy to forget so make sure

679
00:27:43,679 --> 00:27:47,640
that you are either starting your

680
00:27:45,179 --> 00:27:49,919
process here on the images tab or ending

681
00:27:47,640 --> 00:27:52,200
your process here this is a great place

682
00:27:49,919 --> 00:27:54,360
to to revisit at the end of your

683
00:27:52,200 --> 00:27:55,919
remediation just to do a quick scroll

684
00:27:54,360 --> 00:27:57,480
through and make sure that you don't

685
00:27:55,919 --> 00:28:00,000
have any of these big red warnings

686
00:27:57,480 --> 00:28:01,799
saying no alt text that's a that's a

687
00:28:00,000 --> 00:28:03,480
good indication that you've forgotten

688
00:28:01,799 --> 00:28:05,880
one of these images so make sure that

689
00:28:03,480 --> 00:28:08,039
you go through and hide it and Mark it

690
00:28:05,880 --> 00:28:10,260
invisible and once you've done all these

691
00:28:08,039 --> 00:28:12,720
changes make sure that you are saving

692
00:28:10,260 --> 00:28:15,179
your image properties and that's a great

693
00:28:12,720 --> 00:28:18,539
way of of handling your images right

694
00:28:15,179 --> 00:28:20,520
here in one sort of swoop

695
00:28:18,539 --> 00:28:22,320
um the images tab is so helpful again

696
00:28:20,520 --> 00:28:23,820
because you are able to address

697
00:28:22,320 --> 00:28:25,679
everything together

698
00:28:23,820 --> 00:28:28,500
um so sometimes I'll see examples where

699
00:28:25,679 --> 00:28:30,480
it's 100 pages long and every page has

700
00:28:28,500 --> 00:28:33,000
one image on it and it's the same logo

701
00:28:30,480 --> 00:28:35,460
that appears on every page if that's the

702
00:28:33,000 --> 00:28:38,159
case it's not it's not important for you

703
00:28:35,460 --> 00:28:41,940
to go through and type out the same logo

704
00:28:38,159 --> 00:28:43,559
description on every single page it gets

705
00:28:41,940 --> 00:28:45,419
completely redundant so that's an

706
00:28:43,559 --> 00:28:48,240
example of when you could hit the hide

707
00:28:45,419 --> 00:28:50,340
all zones button on uh basically you're

708
00:28:48,240 --> 00:28:52,080
going to hide all of the zones and you

709
00:28:50,340 --> 00:28:54,659
can maybe provide the description for it

710
00:28:52,080 --> 00:28:56,580
on the very first instance of it but

711
00:28:54,659 --> 00:28:58,980
then you're basically relieving yourself

712
00:28:56,580 --> 00:29:00,779
of having to type out that alt

713
00:28:58,980 --> 00:29:02,520
description on every page and then of

714
00:29:00,779 --> 00:29:03,779
course you're not going to forget it as

715
00:29:02,520 --> 00:29:05,820
you're tabbing through and going through

716
00:29:03,779 --> 00:29:08,760
quickly and then on page 82 you forgot

717
00:29:05,820 --> 00:29:12,720
to tag it one time so that's another way

718
00:29:08,760 --> 00:29:14,220
of using this images tab to to double

719
00:29:12,720 --> 00:29:16,620
check your work to handle everything

720
00:29:14,220 --> 00:29:18,600
right up front and then to do sort of

721
00:29:16,620 --> 00:29:20,940
bulk artifacting where you have those

722
00:29:18,600 --> 00:29:22,760
repetitive logos that seem to never go

723
00:29:20,940 --> 00:29:25,980
away they're there on every single page

724
00:29:22,760 --> 00:29:28,740
so this is uh we're right up against 230

725
00:29:25,980 --> 00:29:30,419
now so that the time did fly by there

726
00:29:28,740 --> 00:29:32,460
um Tammy are there any questions about

727
00:29:30,419 --> 00:29:33,960
the uh any of the topics that we covered

728
00:29:32,460 --> 00:29:36,059
today or

729
00:29:33,960 --> 00:29:36,799
um is this a good place to break for the

730
00:29:36,059 --> 00:29:39,179
day

731
00:29:36,799 --> 00:29:41,279
someone asked a question about

732
00:29:39,179 --> 00:29:42,720
hyperlinks attached to images and I

733
00:29:41,279 --> 00:29:44,940
think Ryan was typing in on an answer

734
00:29:42,720 --> 00:29:48,620
but it might be quicker for him to

735
00:29:44,940 --> 00:29:48,620
answer verbally if he's still here

736
00:29:49,080 --> 00:29:52,620
I've actually already answered that

737
00:29:51,179 --> 00:29:53,580
oh okay

738
00:29:52,620 --> 00:29:55,380
um

739
00:29:53,580 --> 00:29:57,500
all right then

740
00:29:55,380 --> 00:29:57,500
um

741
00:29:58,440 --> 00:30:01,559
if you wanted to just quickly read that

742
00:30:00,179 --> 00:30:04,220
answer because now of course I'm sure

743
00:30:01,559 --> 00:30:04,220
people are curious

744
00:30:08,700 --> 00:30:12,899
I um

745
00:30:10,740 --> 00:30:15,659
I think I like all right so don't

746
00:30:12,899 --> 00:30:18,720
someone asked what to do for images with

747
00:30:15,659 --> 00:30:20,940
hyperlinks attacked attached and what

748
00:30:18,720 --> 00:30:23,279
Ryan wrote was a link Zone can be

749
00:30:20,940 --> 00:30:25,440
wrapped around an image or figure to

750
00:30:23,279 --> 00:30:27,840
create a hyperlinked image the output

751
00:30:25,440 --> 00:30:30,720
will contain a link tag which contains

752
00:30:27,840 --> 00:30:33,539
the image with alt text nested inside it

753
00:30:30,720 --> 00:30:35,760
this allows both the images alt text and

754
00:30:33,539 --> 00:30:38,340
the link destination or link alternative

755
00:30:35,760 --> 00:30:41,899
text if you included that to be read

756
00:30:38,340 --> 00:30:41,899
instead of choosing one or the other

757
00:30:43,640 --> 00:30:48,980
I believe that I think we've answered

758
00:30:46,440 --> 00:30:50,580
all the other questions

759
00:30:48,980 --> 00:30:52,559
