[Athen] ISO guidance/standard for alt text, text alternative

[Karen McCall]

Morning Everyone!

Two recent additions to ISO standards. For the Alt Text/Text Alternative, there is a twin document that is free from ITU. All links are provided:

ISO Alternative Text:
ISO/IEC 20071-11:2019 - Information technology - User interface component accessibility - Part 11: Guidance on text alternatives for images (ansi.org)<https://webstore.ansi.org/Standards/ISO/ISOIEC20071112019#:~:text=ISO%2FIEC%2020071-11%3A2019%20Information%20technology%20-%20User%20interface%20component,and%20what%20information%20to%20put%20in%20text%20alternatives.>

There is also an ISO/ITU standard/guidance on captioning and when I find the link(s), I'll send them.

Cheers, Karen
