Frequently Asked Questions (FAQS) about Corada

FAQ: What is ALT Text and why should I enter it in my uploaded images?

Alternate Text (ALT text) is a word, phrase or sentence that is inserted as an attribute in an HTML document to tell users the nature or contents of an image.

From WebAIM: "The key principle is that computers and screen readers cannot analyze an image and determine what the image presents. As developers, text must be provided to the user which presents the CONTENT and FUNCTION of the images within your web content." Click here to read more WebAIM articles about ALT text.

From the Social Security Administration: "Screen reading software is used by people who are blind or who have low vision. Screen readers can only speak text that is in the document or web page. For any non-text content, text must be added, so that alternative non-visual presentation of the information is possible."
