Images can explain ideas, support learning, show relationships, communicate emotion, and make digital content easier to understand. When an image is not accessible, some people may miss information that other users receive visually.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n Alternative text, often called alt text, gives people a text-based way to understand the image. Screen readers can announce this text, browsers can display it when an image does not load, and other technologies can use it as an alternative to the visual content.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n Write and review alt text while creating the page. Content authors understand why an image was chosen and are usually best positioned to describe its purpose. A remediator may describe what is visible, but may not know the author\u2019s intent.<\/p>\n\nAccessibility is part of the definition of done<\/span><\/h2>\n
