Birkir,

I used the "technology" filter on the W3C's Web Accessibility Evaluation Tools List and it found 6 that claim "support" for SVG. I don't know if any of them do what you're looking for, or something you could make work. I'll let you do the legwork on that! :)

Subject: [WebAIM] Detecting SVG imags

Greetings all

I am writing up an image accessibility test guide for our UAT team.
I want them to easily detect use of SVG images (we have started using them on some domains and we are expanding the use to others).

Is there a way for them, other than looking at the source code of images, or by detecting all HTML and CSS images first), to identify an <svg> image?


Do any accessibility tools or bookmarklets mark SVG images specifically or expose their alternative text (the contents of the <title>or <desc> elements)?
For the purpose of this exercise, let's assume the <svg> tag does not have role="img".

Thanks
-B

Thanks Sarah!

Smart thinking there.
I need to take a look at Tanaguru. That is the most likely one on the
list, at least at a glance.
