Mediagraph now offers integrated AI-powered Alt Text generation to help you create accessible, universally-inclusive web experiences. Alternative Text, or Alt Text, is an accessibility aid that describes a file. It's most important for images, illustrations, video, and other visual media. It's useful for instances where the file can't be displayed, or when a user is visually impaired and can't clearly see the file. Alt Text is an important tool to create universally-accessible web experiences.

How It Works
Our AI Alt Text generation is powered by Anthropic's Claude via Amazon Bedrock, providing accurate and contextually appropriate descriptions for your visual media. The service is directly integrated into your Mediagraph account, requiring no additional setup, external accounts, or third-party services.
When you need Alt Text for your images, simply click "AI Generate". The AI model will analyze your visual content and generate descriptive, accessible text to ensure your media is available to all users.
The generator always respects existing manually-written descriptions, so your carefully crafted alt text remains untouched while providing a time-saving solution to ensure compliance.

Why This Matters
Alt Text is a Federal requirement, yet it remains missing from most image files. Our integrated AI solution helps solve this accessibility gap, making it easier than ever to ensure your visual content is described and accessible to everyone who needs it.
While professional human-written alt text remains the gold standard for accessibility, our AI tool offers a valuable starting point that brings your content closer to compliance and provides a foundation you can refine as needed.
