Re: aria-label vs alt text on linked images

There are lots of reasons why this might happen, such as:

Different methods of navigation, such as tabbing or virtual cursor.
Different behaviours in different versions of the same assistive technology product. These are not usually mentioned in the release notes so you only find them by experimentation.
Different behaviours between browsers.
Different configuration settings in the assistive technology.

Why do you have an "aria-label" attribute if the images have "alt" attributes?
