+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: 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.
