Using ChatGPT and Claude Artificial Intelligence to Create Complex Alternate Text (Digital Accessibility Webinar)

Wednesday, September 17, 2025, from 10 a.m. to 11 a.m. PT

Creating alternate text for images in documents and websites is critical to the digital accessibility puzzle. Alternate text should be concise and provide meaningful image context. Overly descriptive image descriptions can make the document harder to read and understand. This webinar will review the process for creating effective alternate text and introduce Artificial Intelligence prompts to help make the process more efficient for complex images. Once descriptions are created by Artificial Intelligence, users can review and edit as needed to ensure they seamlessly integrate into the content. Join Rachel Reeves from Access Ingenuity to discuss best practices, tools, and techniques for crafting high-quality, accessible alternate text.

Learning Outcomes & Zoom Webinar Information

*	Understand the alternate text description process and how to identify informative, supplemental, and decorative images.
*	Understand what makes effective alternate text.
*	Learn how to incorporate ChatGPT and Claude into the alternate text creation process for complex images

We will demonstrate how to enable and use VoiceOver, and TalkBack on Android, covering essential gestures, commands, and navigation patterns specific to mobile devices. Participants will learn to test mobile-specific accessibility features including touch targets (ensuring they meet minimum size requirements), gesture-based navigation, and the crucial but often overlooked external keyboard support for users who cannot use touchscreens. We'll explore how to verify that mobile web content properly reflows, that interactive elements like carousels and dialogues work with assistive technology, and that all functionality remains accessible regardless of device orientation. Join Michael Parker and Marisa Church as they demonstrate comprehensive mobile accessibility testing techniques using VoiceOver and TalkBack.
