The default placeholder text could be derived from the Publication Language - GitHub #6
User story: "As a screen reader user I can hear the relevant information included on the cover image."
Hi @gregoriopellegrino @ways2read @CircularKen @LauraB7,
This is Ramanjulu from Adobe,
Please confirm Whether the following proposed UX allows the content creator to add the required alternative text for the cover image only for the Reflowable workflow. We are thinking of two possible designs (We would like to have your thoughts shared on these)
1) without the checkbox (means mandating the alternative text )
2) With the checkbox, to allow the user to declare it as a decorative image or not
We are thinking, that the option 2 should address the HTML role attribute case also.
Please also confirm if any changes are required for the Fixed Layout case.
Thanks, Ramanjulu.
Hello @raman211. The second screenshot is the closest to the implementation that we'd like, with some caveats.
Additionally, it would be great if the resulting HTML was in a <figure>
tag and had no inline styling (style="max-width:100%;"
).
Finally, we would like time to test this before it's implemented to all InDesign users.
@LauraB7 Thanks a lot for the early feedback, we would love to share a pre-release build with the above suggestions incorporated.
Hi @gregoriopellegrino @ways2read @LauraB7 @CircularKen,
The feature is available in the latest InDesign PreRelease of 19.4 Looking forward to your valuable feedback, before releasing it in 19.4 Please share your feedback on it ASAP, so that we can accommodate the changes for the 19.4 release.
Thanks, Ramanjulu.
Dear @raman211, here is our feedback:
Another thing (cited in comment https://github.com/ways2read/InDesignA11Y/issues/5#issue-1288530060): to improve the accessibility the cover page, you can enrich the semantics by using DPUB Aria roles in the HTML role attribute, in particular role="doc-cover"
on the <img>
tag.
Dear @raman211, to prepare ourselves for the call scheduled on Monday, June 17th: are there any new updates or releases related to this issue (specifically https://github.com/ways2read/InDesignA11Y/issues/5#issuecomment-2025683720 and https://github.com/ways2read/InDesignA11Y/issues/5#issuecomment-2025848286)?
Currently, we are running the InDesign Pre-Release 19.5 (Mainline CI #f95bd09) version on our machines.
Thanks

Export setup
In the EPUB export wizard, in the General tab we set Cover as "Rasterise First Page" or "Choose Image" (and selecting an image file):
Issue
With these export settings we get the
cover.xhtml
file containing the<img>
tag with a non significantalt
attribute:`
`
How to fix it
Allow the user to set an appropriate alternative text for the cover image (maybe in the export wizard). Maybe placeholder based on metadata
Cover of [title] by [author]
may help the user.Other improvements
To improve the accessibility the cover page, you can enrich the semantics by using DPUB Aria roles in the HTML
role
attribute. In the file3-enriched-semantics.epub
we have made a proposal for enriched semantics.
