Text reader support for my webcomic (self.Blind)
submitted by Playful-Science9848
Hi r/Blind
I recently started a new webcomic on Instagram, called "Me vs My Brain".
I found out today that I can add alt text for vision impaired users, and was hoping this could help.
Usually, if people don't add alt text then Instagram would just describe the subject of the photo, but in webcomics this is more complext.
So starting today I'm going to add text that describes every frame. Unfortunately it seems like I can't edit old posts this way.
I would be more than thrilled if this helps anyone and if it'll allow you to enjoy my creation.
I hope you follow me at $1
Thank you ❤️

Hi there! I just wanted to let you know that you can add alt text to existing Instagram photos. Find the photo, click the three dot button at the top right, click “edit”, then the “edit alt text button” appears on the bottom right of the image. Click that to add your alt, then click “done”. Also, if you use Instagram to automatically post to Facebook or Twitter, you’ll need to manually add the same alt-text to the images in those. I personally post to Twitter separately since you cannot edit tweets.
Good luck!
Good luck!

Thanks! Unfortunately that’s only true for posts that weren’t promoted before 😔

Thank you so much for doing this. As someone who wishes they could access more comics, this means a lot to me. I'm recovering my old password right now just so I can follow.

This makes me so happy, thank you.
I was saddened to have only realize this just now

Thanks xo much for making your webcomic accessible! For panel/frame descriptions, the Comic Book Script Archive has examples of descriptions that you can use to help you describe your work for the blind. Thanks for doing this!
