Having never seen/heard a screen reader in action, I am uncertain about how to make some aspects of coding user-friendly for those using screen readers. Specifically, I find my alt tags are almost always the same as my captions. For example, if I insert an image of Joe Smith, my code might look something like this:
<p><img src="images/joe_smith.jpg" alt="Joe Smith" /></p> <p class="photocaption">Joe Smith</p> Does the screen reader read, "Joe Smith Joe Smith"? If so, I would have thought that this repetition would get very annoying especially if there are a lot of images on the page. Could someone please enlighten me?
