Thanks it’s important … Alternative text (alt text) is descriptive text which conveys the meaning and context of a visual item in a digital setting, such as on an app or web page. When screen readers reach content with alt text, the alt text is read aloud so people can better understand …. Images.

THIS IS A GOOD USE CASE FOR GENERATIVE AI For both the unsighted and folks who will never write alt text. Generative AI describes the picture. I like to add commentary to the unsighted community (you know who you are), while the robots write picture descriptions.

"Capture of an English text screen" is what I put as ALT text for this image in a recent post in Catalan ("Captura de pantalla de text, en anglès"). The post itself already resumed the text in the screenshot. Any recommendations for ALT text under English text screenshots in English posts?

The need to write an ALT text presupposes literary qualities and in me, which I lack. As a result, posting becomes a negative experience for me every time. I have therefore pretty much stopped posting photos, because I just don't feel like that feeling vafalence every time. It is humiliating.
