[Athen] Alt tag question

[Jiatyan Chen]

Hi Byron,

Instructions to add an alt text in Powerpoint: http://ncdae.org/resources/cheatsheets/#msppt

As for writing appropriate description, both WAI and WebAIM have good articles:
https://www.w3.org/WAI/tutorials/images/
http://webaim.org/techniques/alttext/

If all that Taleo screenshot does is to supplement her written instructions, she might not need alt text at all, since the equivalent information is already available in text.

She took a screen shot of something in Taleo (the U.T system's employment system to post jobs, and allow access to a search committee member to view applicant information). She wanted to know how to adequately describe the screenshot.  Any suggestions?
