What a joke of a title I just wrote. Was this feature ever tested?
I just had to find out that there has been an Alt-Text on an image published on my companies website that literally describes a black gradient as “a black & white image of a n**e* figure.” I cannot fathom how a feature like this ever made it to production. There is literally no way I believe this was tested beforehand, at least by (cogniscant) humans. Infuriatingly shameful. I do not care that the alt-text has been improved because I am still finding it from when I was affected. I’ve had it disabled since the moment I’ve been able to turn if off and it has still caused nightmares for me.
It is even more frustrating that it basically hides in plain sight and I cannot even find the tags. I had been working on this document for hours before I noticed, all because I accidentally moved the box. To keep me sane and also keep my job, I would love to see Alt-Text tags unaffected by objects in-front of them. I can only imagine this was done to reduce visual clutter in texts with lots of alt-tags? I don’t care at this point.
If anyone knows of a script to wipe ALL alt-text from .indd documents please message me.
