Best use of link to describe image for visually impaired

[tomtomtom]

Hello,
I hope this is the correct forum to post this question.

I have several images in an ebook that need a longer description than an alt tag. I have made a long description area. The link to that long description is at the bottom of the image. It says "More information." But that does not seem like a good idea. For those who can see adequately it might confuse them to click on it. I am trying to think of a good link name and perhaps people here already have a good one.

"Information for visually impaired"?
"Description for visually impaired"?
"Image described"?

These don't strike me as adequate.

Thanks,
Tom

I'd be inclined to follow what is done for video media. Here are tags used...
Personally I like "Description for visually impaired"

Hi Karellen,
I am not sure what those tags mean.

Screen-reader accessible text available?

Textual description for visually impaired?

Or maybe,

Text description of this image?
Image described by text?

*More* information definitely doesn't feel quite right. The image is giving the sighted user information, while a long description in text is meant to deliver the *same* information to the visually impaired reader.
