“Why do we still have difficulties with alt text?”
My reaction: we’d be better off if they were called text equivalents rather than alternatives.
Alternative: “another/different version”
Equivalent: “fit for the same purpose”

In a zoom #UX #A11y #UniversalDesign meetup this week we were discussing alt "tags" and descriptive text. I became anxious about how our industry is nearing 30 years and why alt - introduced in HTML 2.0 (1995) is still misunderstood. What do you think factors in to why this is?
