I've thought about doing this for a while now.
#AltText is something I advocate for, as well as some other simple ways to make posts more #accessible and #inclusive. Let's make this #interactive.
Reply with a #photo or #image without alt text and I'll tell you what my #ScreenReader thinks it shows, as a practical #demonstration of inaccuracies, limitations and why alt text is better.
I can't promise how many I'll be able to do, but would like to do the first 10 or so.

@afewbugs It says: A photo containing a wood item.
Umm, it's a wooden thingy of some kind or other. No clue!

@Cassana gosh that is pretty unhelpful isn't it! It's a canoe made by my university's experimental archaeology department, a willow and hazel frame with a rawhide skin stretched over it. It's resting on a couple of wooden pallets, which may have been where the screen reader got that wood was important from

@afewbugs Sounds interesting. Yeah, more unusual items or that level of detail it just can't manage.

@Cassana that probably was a bit of an unusual one I guess, I just went with what was on my camera roll. How about this one, which is more conventional.
