Is it really so hard to
copy and paste the textlook at the image? Down voted. Don't do that again.Dictation apps have trouble with text in images, which is tough for people with impaired vision
😮so there is really no OCR in those dictation apps 🤯? Is there a OCR API in iOS? If so, it should not be too hard integrating it into an app 🤔 I assume
That seems like a lemmy limitation that probably needs worked on (i.e. prompting for alt text for images so apps can just read the alt text and folks are reminded to think of it).
EDIT: It's been brought to my attention that the Lemmy server software actually does support alt-text ... but I'm not sure how prevalent this is with clients (I don't remember ever seeing a prompt for it).
is it really so hard to look at the image
Uuuuuuuh... Have you considered that there are people who have problems with their eyes or are outright blind?
Don't be an ass again.
You don’t have OCR in your eyes 😮? Or do you use a screen reader, there must be screen readers that can OCR, tho, or are there none?
Accessibility standards require us to not put text in images. Its not hard to copy and paste the text.
What standards?
W3C is the big one that I know
But surely there's others as well
