Les équivalents textuels sont un moyen privilégié pour rendre l'information accessible, car ils peuvent être restitués selon n’ importe quelle modalité sensorielle(par exemple visuelle, auditive ou tactile) pour répondre aux besoins de l'utilisateur. Fournir des équivalents textuels permet de présenter l'information de façons variées pour une diversité d’agents utilisateurs. Par exemple, une personne qui ne peut pas voir une image peut obtenir que l'équivalent textuel soit lu à haute voix par une synthèse vocale. Une personne qui ne peut entendre un fichier audio peut avoir l'équivalent textuel présenté de telle sorte qu'il ou qu'elle peut le lire. 4, record 1, French, - %C3%A9quivalent%20textuel
