Alt Text Tip
I discovered an alt text statement that was too long and I tried to shorten it as much as I could without losing the meaning intended. In doing this, I think I stumbled upon an alt text hack. 🙂
The original alt text was:
Side by side view of three pages of a document. First page has a title, two headings and three sub headings. Second page has two headings and two sub headings. Third page has one heading and no sub headings.
My improved, and under 150 characters alt text is:
Three page document. Page 1 has title, 2 headings & 3 subheadings. Page 2 has 2 headings & 2 subheadings. Page 3 has 1 heading & no subheadings.
I tested this using the NVDA screen reader and it read it correctly. Hope this tip helps someone else.
