Making Images Accessible with Alt Text• Without alt text, a screen reader user will not
know what an image is. • The screen reader will just say “graphic”• Describe what is in the image. No need to say
“image of” or “picture of”

A Few More Suggestions• Data Tables: Only simple tables with same numbers of columns and rows. Can add alt text if complex table.
