Diagnoses
Here is how tools diagnose the image alt long
issue for HTML element 354 of the Freedom of the Press Foundation page.
- <p>Image text alternatives are announced by screen readers as a single run-on sentence; listeners must listen to the entire alt a second time if they miss something. If this cannot be reworded to something succinct, it is better to use the alt to reference a <em>visible</em> <a href="https://www.w3.org/WAI/tutorials/images/complex/" title="Opens in new tab" target="_blank">text alternative for complex images</a>. For example:</p> <ul><li>"Event poster; details follow in caption"</li> <li>"Chart showing our issues going to zero; details follow in table"</li></ul> This image's alt text is: <em>Close-up of the face and torso of a man lying on the ground, grimacing, surrounded by the legs and feet of others, as another person appears to kneel on his back. The man has his eyes squeezed shut and orange liquid running down his face.</em>
