What Is Scribely’s Alt Text Checker?
Scribely’s Alt Text Checker is a tool that scans a webpage to determine if images have alt text.
It functions by analyzing the webpage’s HTML code to locate image tags. Specifically, it verifies whether each image includes a meaningful description in the “alt attribute” (alt text) — the written description required for screen readers and search engines to identify the image's content.
The tool performs the following actions:
Scans URLs: It reads the live code of the webpage link you provide.
Detects Missing Descriptions: It identifies images that have no alt text.
Identifies Weak Descriptions: It flags images that use file names (e.g., image001.jpg) instead of descriptive text.
Generates a Report: It provides a list of all images on the page, categorized by whether they have appropriate text descriptions or need attention.
