    We are getting sued for the ‘social share’ buttons. They are not visually impaired accessible for the blind and dont follow the laws for ADA compliance.

    They do not have “alt texts” assigned to the social icons, so their visually impaired software has no text to crawl to speak it out for them.

    Yes…..we are getting sued over this. Can someone please let me know how we can add “alt texts” to these icons/images/buttons?

    AddToAny buttons actually are accessible to the blind and visually impaired.

    Screen reading software reads AddToAny’s default visually-hidden text label for each button. These HTML elements have the class name of a2a_label, for example:

    <span class="a2a_label">Twitter</span>

    If you happen to be using custom icons, which uses img elements, the alt attribute is appropriately added to the img elements.
