Annie Elainey | Why Do People Use Image Descriptions? [CC] @theannieelainey | Uploaded April 2016 | Updated October 2024, 9 hours ago.
Image descriptions are an easy way to provide online accessibility for many different groups of people: including blind, visually impaired, color blind, autistic, ADD, dyslexic (images with text), people with low internet connection or memory, etc. Online accessibility has recently become very important to me as someone who’s recently become conscious of the lack of access. I know how excluded I can feel when a space is physically inaccessible to me, whether it’s a friend’s house, a venue, a restaurant, a bar, anywhere I might not be able to get into because I’m a wheelchair user… it feels awful. For the internet to be inaccessible is just unacceptable because the accommodations are so simple for those able to provide them. It’s not right that entire communities of people are excluded from content just because of their disability.
