Re: Jaws Not Reading Alt-Text That's in a Graphic

Hi David,

Here is the code for the image tag:

<img src="https://i0.wp.com/www.cccc.org/news_blogs/wp-content/uploads/2010/11/Jumping-man.jpg?fit=600%2C400&amp;ssl=1" alt="“My soul, my soul, must sing!”">


It looks like there may be an issue with the nested quotes. I suspect if a single quote was used inside the standard double quotes for the value it would fix the problem. Something like this:

alt="'My soul, my soul, must sing!'"

Hope this helps!

Best,
Juliette Alexandria

Hi everyone.

I am a totally blind registered Jaws user. The CEO of the organization
for which I work publishes a blog. He's told me that he has completed
the alt-text field for the image that's in the post at the following link:

https://www.cccc.org/news_blogs/john/2010/11/30/my-soul-my-soul-must-sing/

When I get to the graphic, Jaws reads the title of the post, and then
says "graphic."

I'm using the latest build of Jaws 2023. I've also tried NVDA, and I get
the same result. I'm running Windows 10 and am using Firefox and Chrome.

Is there something wrong with the way the alt-text is inserted into the
blog post? Is there a setting in Jaws that I need to check, so that the
alt-text is read?

Thanks in advance for your help with this!
