It’s coffee time again, and I made a gif of me stirring coffee. Let’s see how inaccessible it is.

First off, ho boy
This is a lot
Looks like I've already forgot
The lessons learned from yesterday
To add a description to the gif. Hold on a jiff.
There. A gif with alt-text. Next!

Yesterday I used my hand
To help me understand
And remind me
Of each category
Of web accessibility
I put perception on my pinky
And gave it lots of hooks
For my memory to put
Perception
In my memory books

#WACG #TimedMedia #AccessibleCoffee
So from yesterday's memories
I call forth to my mind
My pretty pinky Percy the Perceptive knight who shines
(They/them pronouns please, and Percy is short for Priscilla.
Because there’s no way at al I’m going to keep this to vanilla.)

“You come again!” Booms Percy,
“I perceive that it is time
For you to learn about Timed media
And how to make your vids sublime
Fo all who care to share in them
I'll tell you how to make
Your vids oh so accessible
For all who would partake.

There is much to consider, about this tiny pic.
All the ways to make it so that people really quick
Get to share in this experience of coffee being stirred.
Images, sounds, signs
And the written word

It needs a text alternative, so blind people can know
What this pic is supposed to show.
And for all those people who have blocked annoying ads
By disabling all images
For this they will be glad.

It does not need captioning, because this silent pic
Has no sound, nor lip reading.
There’s no lips in this flick.
So 1.2.2 is moot

These sections overlap-
They do not stand alone.
1.2.3 is an expansion
Of 1.2.1
Alt text is sufficient, but for another view
This section says describe it
In an audio track, too.
It's a lot, but why not? I'll do it.

Live captions do not matter, because this GIFs not live,
So I can do without 1.1.4
And still survive

1.2.5’s another part that builds on what came previously
It requires I do audio
optional in section 3
So to pass this criteria,
I must use my voice
To record a short description
It’s no longer a choice

1.2.6, sign language translation ?
Not needed for this pic.
This gift does not have language
It’s a purely visual trick
And sign language is visual,
So the GIFs already fine
(Though if I added captions
I’d need to include sign.)

Another note on sign language
That I learned recently
Do not DIY it
And don’t ask for it for free.
For making a signed video, when it comes down to it?
Pay a deaf person to do it.

1.2.7 extends 1.2.5
To make we access better It’s best to go and strive
To capture much more info in extended audio.
Make a much longer description
so that folks can almost sniff
This stirring coffee gif.

But, right out of the gate,
For this gif
The highest standard’s going to be
1.2.8
It's basically a book,
A novelization
Of my tiny gif
A text representation
Of my coffee-stiffing movie.

But I can get along just fine
Without 1.2.9
Because I'm not doing it live.
This criteria does not pertain
And without it I survive.
No need for life captions on this gif.

Whew. It's true. That was quite an overview.
But now where I know what I need
To make my gif accessible
It's time to go and do the deed.
And make these needs redressable.

For a gif this short, filling out the description is enough to pass 1.2.1: have alternate text
I went through
The test proceedure
And found true
Every item on the list. None missed!

Now that I think of images,
Since the text hides behind it
Is it really so accessible
If most people can’t find it?
Time to call that trusty bot @ImageAltText
Next!

@ImageAltText I can skip the captions, but what of audio?
I can record the alt text. But then, how do I let it show?
I suppose I’ll have to put it up on dropbox and then link.
I think.

It seems I have misunderstood 1.2.3.
It does not specifically say
‘narrate the alt-text.’ But, oh, hey,
I think that my narration is better than a robo-voice
Reading out the alt-text.
So now folks have a choice.

The last tweet counts as having
A separate selectable link
With which people can hear me describe
My stirring coffee drink.
The sufficient technique
That’s close to how this goes
Is extended audio w3.org/WAI/WCAG21/Tec…

(This gif is a bit too simple for
what this section expected.
But don’t worry, I’ll try doing
A full shot movie next thread)
Anyway, so there!

1.2.4 is captions, so I can clearly skip it
1.2.5? wow, it’s still live
I have already shipped it
Because, what fun
It’s 1.2.1 + 1.2.3
you see
So it’s already done
Audio description pre-recorded!

If I concentrate
My tired brain
I can note the the rest of 2.2
Either dos not pertain
Or is already done.
(There’s no audio, nor language in my tiny coffe gif tweet,
So no sign langauage extended audio to make this tweet complete)

The most accessible coffee drinking tweet I can make so far:
1. Tweet describing whay I’m up to
2. Animated gif of what I’m up to
3. Alt text extended description of the gif
4. Linked recording of the tweet + extended description of the gif.

That make it perceivable in three ways:

3. Read it, which can be translated to
A) touch it (Braille)
