Helo Chrys, an alternet interface is dos cli. What would be an alternet
interface to the internet? Like putting in a text tab on html, programmers
could place a text label in icons hidden of course so you can't see them on
screen, so screen readers wouldn't have to use resources recognising images
and comparing them to there data about what an image is, instead thescreen
reader say in windows could scan for a label attached to the icon instead of
trying to recognise what the icon is.
