How to write good ALT text

Post by neo-admin »

A recent addition to NeoFinder is the ability to edit the two new standard XMP metadata text fields for ALT text and "Extended Description."

These two fields can be used to add a textual description of the visual content of a photo. This is vastly important for digital accessibility, and highly encouraged for all shared photographs and artwork these days.

A very nice guide on how to write concise and precise ALT text can be found here, and that page includes great examples:

We highly recommend using these new features in NeoFinder to make it easier for your users and clients to use your images.
