Graphics
Graphics on the internet can be a picture, cartoon picture, symbol, movie type item, or any other item that is graphical in nature. Most screen readers allow you to hit the letter g to move to and through the graphics on a web page. Holding Shift and hitting the letter g takes you backwards through the graphics on a web page. Some web pages have graphics that are labeled so that you know what they are, and some do not. In the case of a graphic that is not labeled, some screen readers allow you to label the graphic. Generally, you want to label graphics with your screen reader if it is a page that you commonly use, and the graphic is important. Following are graphics that are labeled, and one that is not. Practice using the letter g to move through the graphics, and Shift g to move backwards through the graphics. When you are done practicing, there is a "BACK" link at the bottom of this page that will take you back to the "Internet Lessons" web page.
