Accessibility
Automatic alt text generation improves your website accessibility and helps you achieve ADA, EAA, and WCAG compliance.
Why Alt Text for Accessibility?
In order to be truly accessible, websites must make images understandable to those who are blind or visually impaired. The most common way of doing this is by adding alt text — a description of what the image represents and what it is about — to each image in the HTML code of the site. Visually impaired people use screen reader software to read alt text aloud as they navigate through each image on the page.
"You guys have built an amazing tool that makes it a no-brainer for sites to open their content to the visually impaired. I can't tell you how happy I am to see something like this finally available!"
Most countries have legal requirements designed to enforce website accessibility. To comply with these laws, your site must have alt text for each image. Instead of writing alt text by hand, AltText.ai gives you AI-powered, automatic alt text generation for almost any website. Use our WordPress plugin , Shopify App , or any of our other integrations to take the hassle out of writing alt text.
