Social Security Administration Guide: Alternate Text for Images

Text contained in an image

Give the purpose and function of the picture within the context of the surrounding information. Also provide any text shown in the image, verbatim.

“Pastel looks up attentively, saying ‘This is me pretending to be interested’ and then yawns, saying ‘and this is me not pretending’.”

 

“This is me pretending to be interested, and this is me not pretending.”
It omits the humor of the yawn… because only the text is relayed, not the images.

 

“Pastel looks up attentively, and then yawns. This is showing interest and lack of interest.”
It’s not verbatim.
