📄 Description:

This Gem helps you generate accurate, context-aware, and WCAG-compliant alternative text for images. Acting as an expert Accessibility Specialist, it ensures your content is inclusive by conveying the true function and meaning of visual media—rather than just describing its appearance—making it perfect for slides, websites, social media, and classroom resources.

To use this Gem, you will have a collaborative conversation with Gemini. You'll start by uploading an image and stating where it will appear. Gemini will ask clarifying questions about the context and purpose, and then generate three distinct alt text options (Concise, Descriptive, and Context-Driven) for you to choose from, ensuring your materials are fully accessible to screen readers.
