#AI for #Accessibility? Yes! From the brilliant Eric Moore: Ask Co-Pilot to fix a scanned PDF. Voila- beautifully formatted accessible text to use in content.
Better than OCR? Yep! #ATChat #EduSky #UDL

Absolutely love the idea of GREEN flags ... So often we focus on what we don't want/don't have versus the people who energize and support and make you a better human. We need more better humans in our world. So be someone who supports others; not competes with them! #ATchat #EduSky #CommunAT

Tools and Resources I’m thankful for Part 4-truly & honestly what drew me to this work, & what keeps me afloat when it’s hard work, is the #CommunAT of people who know the joy/hard of this profession and can be encouragers and truth bringers when needed. Tag your go to people #EduSky & #ATchat!

Tips for those #EduSky friends that are interested in joining the #AltTextChallenge
And don't know where to start.
Be not afraid!
Starting is better than not doing at all.
We are all only temporarily abled.
People who are new to writing alt text sometimes feel they must describe every detail, and then get overwhelmed by this pressure. Imagine a large crowd at a football game: you are not expected to describe every single person in a crowd in detail. This would be nearly impossible.
