Front End Web Development Techdegree Graduate 30,654 PointsIs using 'srt' class a modern practice instead of alt attribute?
I think I have come accross this in a different course but wanted to know for sure. If it is for screen readers we no longer need alt attribute right? Which practice is better then?

Alt text is required for images in order to be accessible to screen readers. Using an "srt" type class is used to make an element/text accessible to screen readers but not display on the screen. Hopefully that clears things up for you.
