Checking and reviewing alt text in WordPress

Good alt text describes what an image means in that place. Decorative images get an empty alt text instead. AI can make suggestions, but a person has to review them. In WordPress the fastest way is from one overview, not page by page in the media library.

Frequently asked questions

Can I just use AI alt text?

Better not without a check. AI does not always know what an image means in that place. Let a person review every suggestion.

What do I do with decorative images?

Give them an empty alt text, so screen readers skip them. In Alt Text Review you mark them as decorative.

Where do I find the dashboard?

Right under Media in WordPress, with its own action button per image.
