DesignWrites short alt text so images work for blind readers

Alt text writer

Drop in an image and you get back one short block of alt text that says what matters in it, ready to paste. Give it a folder, a product catalogue or a web page and it writes alt text for every image, marks the decorative ones and hands back a sheet you can import. Charts and diagrams get a short alt plus a longer description that carries the actual numbers.

What it does

  • Answers an image with one copyable block of alt text and nothing else
  • Keeps alt text short and about the point of the image, not an inventory
  • Writes alt text for a whole folder or catalogue and returns a CSV to import
  • Audits a web page's images for missing, empty or useless alt text
  • Gives charts and diagrams a short alt plus a long description with the data
  • Learns where your images go (blog, store, docs, social) and writes for that place
