Subject: Survey about the quality of alternate text
To: CHI-WEB at listserv.acm.org


Greetings,

I would like to invite you to participate in a survey about the quality of
the alternate text for images in web pages and how semantic content analysis
could improve it.

Alternate text is important for people with visual impairments to be able to
comprehend what an image represents. It is made available via an attribute
to the <img> tag in web pages and is used by assistive technology to
describe the image for those that cannot perceive it visually. It is the
most common example in the field of web accessibility. Having an alternate
text attribute does not immediately guarantee the image is accessible. The
content of the alternate must properly describe the image. With this survey
we wish to characterize how well current alternate text accomplish this and
how semantic analysis can assist in improving the quality of alternate
texts.

The survey is anonymous and should take less than 15 minutes to complete.
Use the following link to participate:

Thank you for your help!

Kind regards,
Carlos Duarte
