Screen Reader Needs to Account for Spanish Speaking Visually Impaired Users #1

Open millerlara opened 7 years ago

millerlara commented 7 years ago

Issue: Each page needs to account for spanish as well, including specific image alt text for attribute lang="en" and lang="es"
Reference: https://webaim.org/techniques/screenreader/

-What is the priority that has been assigned? Priority 2 (must be completed prior to last sprint and product release, but can be done in another sprint) -How do you interpret this fitting into the process of building the project? This item is integral to the success of disabled users on the site. -Why should this be in the Sprint this time? Why not wait until the next Sprint? We can wait until Week 8 sprint (the final sprint) but needs to be included prior to release.

Accessibility User Stories - Story 5: As a JAWS from Freedom Scientific screen-reader user, I want to be able to hear the text equivalent for each image that conveys information about the image. https://github.com/suwebdev/great-sunrise/wiki/Accessibility-Requirements
Estimated Size: med (3-5 days)

Acceptance Criteria:
-Alt tags shall be used for all images with simple, short descriptions that do not interfere with similar text that appears on the page.
-Alt tags are to be left blank if proper image context is written near the image (ex: alt=“”)

TOTAL TIME TO COMPLETE USER STORY AND ISSUE: 3 days + 1 day

@Adan206 @Cass0115 @krfeeley @georginajuarez @beckg2 I'm concerned that this is going to increase the user story estimation two times as much as we've allocated, but I think putting Bill and Matt in charge of this is the right thing to do as they both have already been working on accessibility over the past few weeks.
