Practical guide

Write an accessible spoken description of a visual feature

Write an accessible spoken description of a visual feature: a practical process, a clearly illustrated example and checks to use before the next live session.

A practical process

  1. Name the object and its location before using words such as here or this.
  2. Describe the relevant shape, position or contrast using concrete language.
  3. Repeat any important printed measurement aloud instead of relying only on the camera.

Worked example

Instead of “This part opens here,” say “The zip runs along the top edge of the front pocket.” A viewer who cannot see the close-up clearly can still follow the demonstration. Keep the description tied to the current product orientation.

Before the next session

Use the current Aseacast product overview to check which parts of this workflow fit your setup.
