Hi Lucy, as a screen reader user, I would be happy to access the text off the comic - don't see the need for the transcript.
I am really keen to know how you have accomplished this.
Sounds awesome!
Thanks,
Jo

Subject: [WebAIM] transcript for a comic strip

hello:
we want to put up a comic on our site and have found a way to add accessible text to it. we were wondering if we should still add a link to the transcript of what the text says to the page as well. we have been able to make it so that if the comic panels are enlarged they still can be read.
so the screen reader user gets text as they move through the panels. my feeling is we don't need the transcript but i would like a vote from here thanks Lucy Lucia Greco Web Accessibility Evangelist IST - Architecture, Platforms, and Integration University of California, Berkeley
