I see we have an influx of new accounts again, welcome! Here on Mastodon, it's encouraged to add captions (alt-text) to your images. I realize this can be daunting for those who are not writers, and it can feel like a "homework" assignment with no instructions on how to start. Your friendly neighborhood transcriptionist is here to help! I am compiling a small "library" of images with examples of bad, okay, and good image captions in this thread.If you are struggling, you can reply to this thread with an image, and I will try my best to write you a decent example to learn from.#AltText #CaptionTips
