An example of a skill that many here will have gained - a skill that has been built up on social media platforms to support others with disabilities:
Writing good ALT text and/or image descriptions - a valuable, versatile skill.
This skill means you can:
- write succinctly (donāt describe everything if not needed, keep within character limits, respect peopleās attention spans)
- pick out and describe only the most important and relevant aspects of a visual based on the context it is in (this will differ for the same image when in different contexts)
- help describe the imageās own context and overall message or style, if itās relevant
You can therefore describe many kinds of visuals in succinct ways using words in this way. I.e. Whenever the recipient of your words cannot see (for any reason) a visual that you can, you can help them be included in your experience by describing what you see.
You can:
- describe visuals over the phone or in an audio message
- describe visuals in an email when you cannot share the visual itself
- help someone find or identify something that theyāve never seen (and you donāt have a picture to share with them)
- and many more!
