Alt Attributes on Images Helps Visually Impaired
Including alt attributes on images will help the visually impaired, who access web sites using a screen reader.
SCREEN READER is a software application that attempts to identify and interpret what is being displayed on the screen.
This interpretation is then re-presented to the user with text-to-speech, sound icons, or a Braille output device.
This is the braille display connected to an ordinary keyboard does the job of interpreting the sound from the screen reader software.
They can’t see the image, but with a descriptive alt attribute, they will be able to know what your image is.
