+ | A: Wow! This is the first time we have had a Kindle book do Alt-text. You don't have to rewrite any of the image descriptions that are all ready there, though there are a few that need either Alt-text or other work done. | ||
+ | |||
+ | I QA'd the book and identified everything that needs additional work: | ||
+ | * Describe the Cover | ||
+ | * replace those wavy lines with content break lines | ||
+ | * Some images have alt-text that tells the reader where to find the image description, | ||
+ | * In Chapter 3 there is a chart that is described. It is repeated later on in the book. In the second book enter the following into the Alt-text: '' | ||
+ | * For the phrase images, some state they are text, and others just transcribe the image with no further context. In these instances add '' | ||

+ | {{ : | ||
+ | |||
+ | A: A long description should be done for this image. You can use multiple modalities (lists, subheadings, | ||
+ | |||
+ | No need to describe what is crossed out. Divide the form into subsections below the main heading and describe all the data in either lists or tables depending on the data type. You may need to play around with this, it looks like it may need a mixed of both. | ||

+ | Q: Alt-text/ long description for chart in Part 5 of the NKJV Life Application Study Bible. I know this information should be in a table because of a previous similar (but simpler) chart, but I’m not sure how many columns, or possibly how many tables. | ||
+ | |||
+ | For kings of Israel and kings of Judah, there is the following information: | ||
+ | * Year of start of reign | ||
+ | * Length of reign | ||
+ | * King’s name | ||
+ | * Events associated with king | ||
+ | * Accomplishments of king | ||
+ | * Bible references | ||
+ | |||
+ | There are also bars that represent prophets that prophesied during the kings’ reigns, and sometimes the prophets overlap with multiple kings. | ||
+ | |||
+ | Here is image 1 of 4 that connect. In images 3 and 4, there are additional bars representing the prophets in the bottom section as well as the top section. | ||
+ | |||
+ | {{ : | ||
+ | |||
+ | A: You would do the same thing as you did for the other table. Create a heading for the prophets. If they repeat, repeat the name in the corresponding cell. If there is no prophet then treat as a blank cell. | ||
+ | |||
+ | Q part 2: So to confirm, all of the information about each king (length of reign, events, accomplishments, | ||
+ | |||
+ | A: A table is designed for the organization of tabular data, this means every column needs to be its own piece of data that aligns with the header row. You will need to have a column for each piece of data in this visualization. Let me know if you require more clarification. | ||

+ | Q: In the NKJV Life Application Study Bible, there are links to other sections that look like asides and many include images. We have agreed that some images are decorative and can be removed. I have also come across some that include thumbnail images of the image in the section that it is linked to. (And have since realized that some in a previous section I submitted are like this as well--the maps.) | ||

+ | All the images in this book are drawn as simple line figures over a background that imitates a lined piece of paper. Many of the images include the characters speaking to each other with speech bubbles, as well as sounds represented with words. These have been transcribed directly into the Alt-text as they occur. Feel free to reword that as needed. | ||
