actually can anybody check if these have Image Descriptions in the alt text? if not i’ll add them, im trying to figure out what was under the read more and im guessing it was the ID

What does the 'add image alt text'(something like this when you click on the three dots) whenever you post a picture mean

Does it work as an ID or not?

hello! alt text is another version of image description. When using a screenreader, the person uses their finger to scroll through and a voice will read out the words on the appliance to them. with images, screenreaders usually just say “image” and not what is in it, hence the need for image descriptions. Alt text, however, is a built in way for screenreaders to read out images. on instagram, for example, there is built in alt text to a certain extent where a screenreader will read out “tree, outside, dog” as the computer/phone recognizes what these are.

inputting your own alt text on images with sites like tumblr, instagram, and twitter allows for the person uploading the image to control this and make the image easier to understand. for example, the uploader could change the alt text from “tree, outside, dog” to “an image of a yellow lab outside underneath a tree”.

Essentially, alt text functions in the same way that image descriptions do, but they are more readily available to the screen reader user. Alt text places the image description within the image itself whereas the traditional image descriptions come After the image and, in some cases, even come multiple reblogs down so that the screen reader user is getting the post out of order!

tl;dr yep! alt text is another way to ID an image! just less visible to users as it builds the ID into the image itself :)

Thank you for asking! Let me know if you have any other questions or need clarification on anything !!

I NEED TECH SUPPORT PLEASE HELP

Is it possible to use Razer Kaira Pro bluetooth headphones, connect the USB-C port to my PC (in theory turning them into wired headphones), and be able to use the microphone and headphones at the same time without the audio quality getting completely screwed?

I have a pair of Razer Kaira Pro bluetooth headphones, but ironically, I would much rather them be wired than wireless. I am trying to record gaming videos but it's impossible to hear the game and record my voice at the same time while using bluetooth headphones, as the audio quality gets very muffled. The headphones do have a USB-C port on them, and I connected it to my PC, but I'm not sure what to do next... Now that the headphones have a wired connection and can in theory bypass the data transfer limitations of bluetooth, shouldn't they now work as a normal pair of headphones? I've tried it but nothing seems to happen, it just charges the headphones. However, looking at the Devices and Printers menu in the Windows control panel, there appears to be an audio device with a speaker icon called "Plugable UGA-2KHDMI", connected to a USB 3.0 port on my computer (and the USB-C cable going from my headphones to my computer is also connected to a USB 3.0 port, which makes me thing that the "Plugable UGA-2KHDMI" is my headphones, and I can select it as an audio playback device but it doesn't work, I can't hear anything even on full blast.

Is there any way to turn off certain swipe controls for youtube? Esp shorts. Like genuinely i have really bad motor skills and more often than not my "up/down" swipes read as side swipes.

Or like alternatively does anyone have a way to get around this? I guess i could make an accessibility shortcut in my phone for swipe up or swipe down but i think i would never actually use that
