+ | =======Text and Images======= | ||
+ | |||
+ | There are two types of images that deal with text: | ||
+ | |||
+ | - '' | ||
+ | - these include Tables, Survey’s, Forms, single words or phrases | ||
+ | - '' | ||
+ | - This includes Images of newspaper headings, advertisements, | ||
+ | |||
+ | < | ||
+ | |||
+ | < | ||
+ | |||
+ | =====Images of Text===== | ||
+ | The most common images of text are '' | ||
+ | |||
+ | If there is an image of a table, simply recreate the table within Word following the directions in the [[public: | ||
+ | |||
+ | If there is an image of a list, simple recreate the list with in Word following the directions in the [[public: | ||
+ | |||
+ | Some images with text will require a long description. For examples go to the [[public: | ||
+ | |||
+ | Images of Surveys are a bit of a judgement call. It depends on the context of the image. | ||
+ | |||
+ | If it’s critical to understanding the book that readers know exactly what was asked in the survey then we want to transcribe the entire survey and for blank lines you can replace them with '' | ||
+ | |||
+ | < | ||
+ | |||
+ | If it doesn’t matter to the reading experience what the details of the survey are then simple Alt-text will do. | ||
+ | |||
+ | < | ||
+ | |||
+ | Remember, context is key. When in doubt, [[public: | ||
+ | |||
+ | |||
+ | =====Images with Text===== | ||
+ | |||
+ | '' | ||
+ | |||
+ | < | ||
+ | |||
+ | These are good examples of the importance of context. If there is an image of a newspaper headline, chances are that you only need to transcribe the headline. If there is an image of an Advertisement you probably don't have to transcribe the text, unless it is a book about the history of Advertisements and the content of the text is important to the reader. Context is key! | ||
+ | |||
+ | To indicate that there is text, write “Text says/ | ||
+ | |||
+ | <note tip> | ||
+ | go into the [[public: | ||

+ | {{ : | ||
+ | |||
+ | Alt-text: A large yellow road sign. Text says: "Girls don't hitchhike the Highway of Tears" | ||
+ | </ | ||
+ | |||
+ | =====Images of Words and Phrases===== | ||
+ | |||
+ | Another example of images of text is having individual words or short phrases rendered as images. This is highly discouraged, | ||
+ | |||
+ | This mistake is more common with words in other languages or alphabets. Always transcribe. | ||
+ | |||
+ | If the image is written in another alphabet you may have to either use unicode or set up your keyboard to type that alphabet. Please see the [[https:// | ||
