Crafting Accessible Alt Text for Images

Generates effective alternative text (alt text) for images, improving accessibility for users with visual impairments.

The method

Use in image descriptions on websites or social media. Adapt for context. Aim for concise and informative text (~125 characters). Perfect for content creators posting visual content online. Consider the image’s purpose for sighted users.

The prompts

Prompt 1
I have an image of a woman hiking in a mountain landscape at sunset. Generate alt text that is concise, descriptive, and provides context for users who are visually impaired.
Prompt 2
Create alt text for a photograph of a stack of books on a wooden table, with a steaming mug of coffee next to it. The books appear to be vintage with slightly worn covers. The aim of the image is to represent an invite to relaxed study session.
Prompt 3
I am posting a graph showing website traffic over the past year. The x-axis represents months (Jan-Dec), and the y-axis represents the number of visitors. The traffic spiked significantly in June and December. Generate alt text for this graph. Write the alt text in the language 'English'. Be concise, complete, and provide context for users who are visually impaired.
