I find the screen reader experience of

- image: handwritten.blog

- image: handwritten post

- link (image): comment on this post

- link (image): read the transcript of this post

- link (image): back to main page

not bad at all. Sure, it would be better if the transcript was just part of the page, but I understand the tradeoff and it's quick enough to get to the transcript.



I didn't even notice the transcript text down there! That's better but still far from ideal.


Yeah, the page could be more accessible to users who don't use a screen reader but don't want to parse small handwriting.

If you had a screen reader you'd hear literally only:

- Link, image with alt handwritten.blog

- Link, image with alt Comment on this post

- Link, image with alt Read the transcript

- Link, image with alt Back to main page

I think it'd be less confusing if the main body had an alt. It would just be a short FYI that there's also a big image of text and that the transcript reproduces it.

But the transcript would be a lot harder to miss with a screen reader!
