+Q: Being a book about inclusivity, "Authentically Inclusive Marketing" actually already has image descriptions written out for its images! Not sure they're all the best image descriptions but they're there! What should I do with these? (First screenshot is from Chapter 3).
+There's also a big table from Chapter 6 that has alt-text that says: "Due to Alt text restrictions, please visit andhumanity.co/inclusive-marketing-benchmarks to process this table with a screen reader." Not sure what to do with that!
+Should I still try to write some image descriptions of my own? Should I write a producer's note to clarify that there are pre-written image descriptions in this book that NNELS didn't create?

+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, and others do not. All images *must* have image descriptions. When you find an image that is decribed in the text below, but does not have alt-text add the following to the Alt-text box: ''Image Description follows in text.'' [note that is the language they use, we use different language in house, but this is okay for this context.]
+  * 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: ''Same line graph from chapter three.'' You can find more documentation on how to deal with repeated images on the [[public:nnels:etext:images:multiple_images|Dealing with Multiple Images]] wiki page
+  * For the phrase images, some state they are text, and others just transcribe the image with no further context. In these instances add ''A sentence reads: "quote"'' [Again we are borrowing the language from their other Alt-text of similar images]
+Update: I heard back from Ka, the table is missing a header row and difficult to understand. Please replace the image with an accessible table in the Word Doc. Add to the producer's note that the image of a table has been replaced with an accessible table.
+You can put in a Producer's Note that states most images in the book have been described by the publisher with eitherbinline producer's notes located below the images, or transcription of text within the image itself. Any images that the publisher missed, have been described by NNELS. These additional descriptions can be found within the Alt-text tags of the images. Feel free to reword this.

+Q: Question about this table from "The Blind Mechanic." Chapter title: "And Then It Happened."
+A few words in the last column are cut off. For example, in the 9th row, it says "Childrens" and then the next word is cut off. In the 13th row, the doctor's name is cut off. What should I do for the cut-off words?
+{{ :public:nnels:etext:images:blindmechanicchart.jpg?400 |}}
+A: You can do an inline producers note. [Producer's note: text is cut off at end of page.]

+Q: for the Halifax Relief Committee form from my last question, I noticed that there is a name under the "Children" section that is blurred out. It occurred to me that Eric has an older sister and that the blurred-out name is probably the sister's name. The "badly burned" description also seems to be in line with the sister's name.
+I do wonder if readers may be confused as to why Eric's sister doesn't appear to be mentioned at all on the form. Should I mention somewhere that there is a blurred-out name?
+A: Good catch! You can add in your description that her name is blurred out.

+Q: This is an image from "The Blind Mechanic" from the chapter titled "Recovery and Transition." I'm having trouble reading some of the words on it (particularly the handwritten parts and the parts near the top where some words are crossed out). The image's caption suggests that the important details are the descriptions of the injuries and the note under "Investigator's suggestion as to what should be done." Would a full long description be necessary for this image?
+{{ :public:nnels:etext:images:bmechanicimage.jpg?400 |}}
+A: A long description should be done for this image. You can use multiple modalities (lists, subheadings, paragraph breaks) as needed.
+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.
+The top reads:
+Surname: Davidson
+Address: 584 Gottigen St.
+No. of Rooms: 5
+Rent: 17.00
+Hand written note: Block 3 Apt. 26, North Park St.
+The second section seems fairly straight forward.
+The third section is in columns. The info is as follows:
+Children: John, Eric
+Age: 2 1/2
+Condition: Badly burned, badly injured, and two eyes out
+Losses: House (owned), Buisness (plant), Furniture and and clothing, Injury to health
+Description: All destroted (sp) aligns with Furniture and clothing, all very badly injured aligns with injury to health.
+Estimated value: hand written note reads: Claim
+The other sections are fairly clear to read.
+The other handwritten note appears after clothing and reads: "food"
+(I did archival work, and you get good a reading old scanned documents)

 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.

+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, Bible references) can go in one cell? So I would have only 1 table of 4 columns (date, king of Israel, king of Judah, prophet)?
+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.

-A: It would be better to use a more clear and direct word for the reading level, for example ''she cries: "Sob, Sob, Sob".  The prod not for this book should be fairly brief, do not use the full comic prod note as this is not a comic. Include note about illustration style, and background style. The speech bubbles can be included in your note about the illustration style. For example: ''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.
