Screen readers are used by those who have impaired sight or not sight
(i.e., blindness). Screen readers look for character data and generate
speech to read it. GIFs, PNGs, ... are not readable by screen readers
-- not without resorting to OCR. Thus just generating text to put in
the ALT tag of the IMGs would be a huge improvement in making the docs
accessible to the visually impaired.
What you made available at
http://www.sqlite.org/docsrc/artifact/873cf35adf
is readable via a screen reader because it's all text (the only IMG in
that page is for the SQLite3 documentation logo).
All you have to do now is make the scripts that generate
http://www.sqlite.org/lang.html
and friends put the text diagrams as ALT text for the GIFs and you're
done :)
(I don't need accessible docs, but clearly others do; on their behalf:
thanks!)
