What problem does it solve?
It helps people generate accurate, accessibility-focused alt text for social media images so screen reader users get the image’s actual point, including any visible text, within practical platform length limits.
Core Features & Use Cases
- Accessibility-first alt text: Produces descriptive alt text that avoids filler like “image of” and focuses on what the post would lose if the image disappeared.
- Visible text transcription: Transcribes on-image text such as memes, screenshots, chart labels, handles, and captions.
- Platform-aware length guidance: Adapts verbosity for common character limits (e.g., X/Twitter ~1,000; LinkedIn ~120; Bluesky ~2,000; Mastodon ~1,500).
- Person-description guardrails: Avoids guessing identity attributes and distinguishes observable details (like expression and pose) from inferences (like emotion).
Quick Start
Use the alt-text skill to write alt text for the image you are about to post on X by mentioning the platform and attaching the image.
