Thoughts on screen readers and image recognition
Image recognition in screen readers is a massive improvement over the absence of anything better, but it isn't better than a text description provided by a content author.
Use the tabindex attribute
The tabindex attribute is often misunderstood and consequently misused.
Quick Tip: ARIA Menu Role
ARIA role="menu" is frequently used incorrectly. An ARIA menu is not a group of site navigation links displayed toward the top of a webpage. An ARIA menu is instead a widget that pops open a set of options, and is navigated with the arrow keys (not Tab key). Defining role="menu" on navigation that is not a true ARIA menu can break screen reader behavior.
