Here's a #
poll about when text in an image must, may or must not be transcribed for an #
AltText or an #
ImageDescription in the #
Fediverse.
Definition:
- "Legible" means it can be read in the image (sufficient letter height, not blurry, unobstructed).
- "Illegible" means it can be seen as text, but it can't be fully read in the image (too small letter height and/or slightly blurry and/or partly obstructed).
- "Invisible" means that it is so small that it can't be seen as text in the image (way sub-pixel letter height and/or very blurry). "Invisible" does not mean "fully outside the image" or "facing away from the on-looker".
- "Yes" means one MUST transcribe it.
- "Maybe" means one MAY transcribe it.
- "No" means one MUST NOT transcribe it.
Example:
"Legible: yes; illegible: maybe; invisible: no" means:
- If you can read it in the picture, you must transcribe it.
- If it can't be read, but there's still clearly text visible, feel free to transcribe it, but it isn't mandatory.
- If text is so tiny and/or blurry that it can't be seen as text, don't transcribe it under any circumstances.
Warning:
"Always transcribe everything" means that if there's a newspaper stand somewhere in your picture, you must fully transcribe all frontpages of all newspapers of which the frontpages face the on-looker all the way down to the fold. This is nigh-impossible unless you have also taken close-up photographs of all newspapers.
Exception:
If a transcription compromises someone's privacy, the text must not be transcribed, at least not fully and literally.
