I realised that my audience probably needs image descriptions and I want to be a good ally to people with different accessibility needs. Plus, I talk about access in my work so I really do need to walk the talk.
So I have really been trying. How great that image descriptions improves your reach AND provides inclusivity and accessibility to disabled people? Savvy AND altruistic! They are a short description in the body of text that accompanies an Image on social media. You might want to put the image description in the first comment — and state that in the body of the text. Here is an example of an image description on one of my Instagram posts.
Thanks for capturing this prod. My dress is witcheryfashion. Her face is red and her hair is short, dark and curly. She is looking to the side and laughing. A few people have questioned — and been uncomfortable with. Yes the question mark was on purpose. Because my face is red.
Because I see disability as part of my identity. And why are they uncomfortable?! Get your best tips from the best! Explain what you see to another person.
Write simply, with as much or as little detail as you think is needed. Is their hair long or short? Are they standing or sitting? How are their arms positioned? What are they wearing? Are they looking at the camera or away? Describe all of those elements in your image description. I often ask people to write their own image descriptions — if they are doing a guest Instagram post — for example.
If you are describing a group of people, and know their names and roles, you could note these in the image description. They also set you apart from others — and give people a good indication of what you look like.
If you are comfortable to do so, describe all or a few of these features. When describing text, include the whole quote in the description. Before you post it, copy the text from the original source and paste it into the body of the social media post. Or upload it into Online OCR , copy the text it spits out, proof read and edit, and paste where the text needs to go.
Then write a preface, and upload the image. The robot introduces the man,. For more complicated comics, or at least ones that change their view, perspective, etc, the new setting also should be described. They have short brown hair and are wearing a tie. The person behind the desk is wearing glasses and is holding a paper. The person behind the desk, presumably a manager, asks the other person, an applicant for a job position a question.

Each box has the name of a website, and each is tagged with a fact about the website. Today the number of networked devices are equal to the population [A picture of a black stick figure standing on the planet with the symbol for wireless coming out of their head.

Why are image descriptions important? To start off, image descriptions are important because they make Tumblr more accessible. Image descriptions are also important for people with slow internet speeds, or people who are on mobile Tumblr. What are image descriptions and how do you make them? The first describes a picture without words.
This kind of description goes in brackets [ ] and tells about what is in a picture or gif. Image descriptions need to be the first comment to a picture. If you are adding a description to a picture that already has comments, just use the return key to add a few more spaces. Image descriptions must be first, or else people using screen readers will have to be read meaningless dialogue first without knowing what the comments refer to.
For example: This is a picture of me. An image description for this picture might go something like: [Image Description: A picture of a person sitting on a brown couch.
