MIAMI MLS and restb.ai Improve ADA and Website Accessibility
The Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) and the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG) both require websites to be equally accessible to everyone. For the visually impaired, this means ensuring every listing image on your site has a descriptive alt tag to be read by a screen reader. Populating a photo’s alt-text is essential to over 4.4 million Americans who rely on screen readers to better understand a listing photo’s contents and it can help you reach a wider audience. Additionally, MIAMI MLS utilizes restb.ai leading edge technology, to create automated image captions that will not only save 1000’s of man hours but also help make it easier for every broker’s IDX site to be as accessible as possible.
Please Note: No change necessary to get your NEW photos tagged. Uploading NEW photos remains the same.
These are examples of the NEW auto-tagging
- Prior to loading into Matrix your photos will be identified with Image Of tag (label)
(see below highlighted in yellow) - IF Image Of tag is incorrect, click the drop-down arrow and select another Image Of tag
- Please notify MLS@Miamire.com with MLS #, photo slot number and the label you manually changed we will modify the logic to correctly identify similar photos in the future.
Please Note:Over this past weekend (October 1 – 2, 2022) MIAMI MLS tagged 673,067 photos on over 34,000 listings with the Status of Active, Active with Contract and Pending (MIAMI listings only)
