It’s in the alt text

Alt text is like putting Braille next to a sign; it’s a tool for the blind (who use screen readers to access alt text).

It’s also a backup when the image fails to load, but it’s not a substitute for making sure the image is legible for people who can see.

If you add a transcription in the body of the post, that should cover your remaining bases.

Ah, I use Voyager and it lets you easily read the alt text after clicking on the image, I figured there was similar functionality on other clients. Noted
