Abstract:
Image accessibility on the web is the main focus of this study. Due to the lack of proper image descriptions, it has been difficult to access intended information available on the informative images for the people with sight loss and who use assistive technologies, such as screen reader while surfing websites or web applications. This study defines the lack of effective solutions to author image description as an existing gap, and explores the possibility of helping to write a better image description with the use of different types of sample examples. Results suggest that it is effective to have a similar sample example description to write accessible image descriptions.
