This is gonna sound silly, but in a best-effort attempt at making computers and the internet more accessible, I'd like to suggest making the alt text editor edit directly the image metadata ("notes" field), and then use the metadata as the alt field
What do y'all think? #a11y #accessibility
I wonder about using the description metadata field (XMP-dc:Description) tag.
I think this is starting to get used, shown to users an editable field, in the smartphone image/video Gallery apps from both Apple and Google..
I managed to get someone working on a new open source Gallery app to add it to their app. Theres not yet been a release since it was added https://github.com/Lmh170/Android-Gallery-App
I really like your idea of using existing, or creating the needed file metadata to enable #a11y
I'm not just talking about images, but also about sound files, and any relevant file really.
PDFs? Why couldn't I convert the .tex file to .rtf and slap it in the file metadata?
(Is .rtf a binary format? Or Markdown, anyway.)
This is a bonfire demo instance for testing purposes
