Title and description on images #6003

Closed derekriemer closed 8 years ago

derekriemer commented 8 years ago

Word also has the ability to titlize and descriptionize images.

  1. insert > image. select one.
  2. select the image. Note4, NVDA says "/" for some reason.
  3. applications key.
  4. Format image > layout.
  5. Alt text expanded.
  6. Put a title.
  7. f6 to the doc. The title reads once you unselect it.
  8. Add description in the same way.
  9. NVDA ignores the title.

Previous experience suggests that this is a matter of how Microsoft has implemented description exposure. Same thing occurs with JAWS and Window-Eyes.

I originally implemented it like this as the property we receive the "description" from is called "alternativeText". This then uses roughly the same rule as on the web. I.e. use alt text over title. However, if you can provide good evidence that authors are using title and description in a different way for Word documents, then I'd be happy to revisit that decision. I.e. perhaps expose both all the time. Or only expose title, and then provide description via optional long description like I have now done for tables.

I don't have any evidence one way or the other. I just wanted to see if it was similar to the table thing.

I think this interpretation is correct. PDF conversion takes the info from the description field and not title.

Closing based on the above. If someone has a solid argument to the contrary, feel free to comment.
