Alt Text Accessibility

Images Speak—Ensure Everyone Can Hear Them

Descriptive, inclusive alt text is more than a checkbox—it’s a gateway to comprehension, trust, and access.

Beyond Metadata: Why Alt Text Matters

A graph. A product image. A dense infographic. For many users, visuals are essential to comprehension—but without clear alt text, they become barriers. According to WebAIM’s 2024 Million report, over 55% of homepages still have missing or insufficient image descriptions.

Alt text isn’t just a compliance task—it’s a user experience cornerstone. It boosts accessibility, search visibility, and trust across mobile and assistive platforms.

Our Collaborative Approach

What Thoughtful Alt Text Looks Like

With Amnet’s support, our teams go beyond basic image tagging. We co-create detailed, human-first descriptions that balance accuracy, clarity, and context.

Through their expert-led process, we ensure:
Descriptions for charts, graphs, and data-rich visuals
Context-sensitive phrasing (not just “image of...”)
AI-supported tagging enhanced by human review
WCAG-compliant structure embedded in HTML or native formats
Equitable access across devices, platforms, and assistive tech
Large-format or scanned document accessibility

Why Alt Text Deserves Strategic Attention

One-Size-Fits-None
Users piece together their own assistive ecosystems—from screen readers to magnifiers. Alt text must serve this diversity. Personalized accessibility starts with precision in description.

Co-Design, Not Guesswork
We encourage feedback from real users with low vision and blindness to inform alt text best practices—because “imagined personas” won’t catch what real people need.

Mobile-First = Alt-First
On mobile, images dominate screens. Alt text often becomes the only context in high-contrast or reader modes. Make it count.
