Summary
This Success Criterion highlights the need for text alternatives for non-text content to help people with vision or hearing difficulties. The text can be adapted to suit specific needs, like changing written text to voice for visually impaired users. Decorative content should be ignored by assistive technology to make the information universally accessible.
Lyrics
Verse 1:
When images speak without words
Some folks are left in the dark
But text alternatives change the game
Breaking barriers, that’s where we start
Chorus:
Text alternatives show the way
For those who can’t see what’s displayed
Read aloud, shown visually, turned to braille
Helping everyone access without fail
That’s how we all see it all
Verse 2:
Charts and graphs tell stories with lines
Audio clips capture moments in time
But not everyone perceives the same
With text descriptions, inclusion we maintain
Chorus:
Text alternatives show the way
For those who can’t see what’s displayed
Read aloud, shown visually, turned to braille
Helping everyone access without fail
That’s how we all see it all
Bridge:
For the deaf and hard of hearing
For the blind navigating digital spaces
For those who process differently
We create accessible places
Verse 3:
From traffic cams to historic scenes
Animation, e-learning, and more
With proper text to explain it all
Every door becomes one we can explore
Final Chorus:
Text alternatives show the way
For those who can’t see what’s displayed
Read aloud, shown visually, turned to braille
Helping everyone access without fail
And we can search and repurpose too
Making content work for you
That’s how we all see it all
