minus-squarelmmarsano@lemmynsfw.comlinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up11arrow-down6·1 day ago This post more than others needs accessibility: low contrast, difficult to read even without impairment. Images of text break much that text alternatives do not. Losses due to image of text lacking alternative: usability we can’t quote the text without pointless bullshit like retyping it or OCR text search is unavailable the system can’t reflow text to varied screen sizes vary presentation (size, contrast) vary modality (audio, braille) accessibility lacks semantic structure (tags for titles, heading levels, sections, paragraphs, lists, emphasis, code, links, accessibility features, etc) some users can’t read the image due to lack of alt text users can’t adapt the text for dyslexia or vision impairments systems can’t read the text to them or send it to braille devices searchability: the “text” isn’t indexable by search engine in a meaningful way fault tolerance: no text fallback if image breaks image host is geoblocked due to insane regulations. Contrary to age & humble appearance, text is an advanced technology that provides all these capabilities absent from images.
