Adding Alt-text to posts with images

To comply with ADA regulations, Alt Text must be added to images posted on social media. You can add Alt Text through Sprout directly.

  1. Add your images to the post.

 

  1. Click “add alt text.”

 

From here, you’ll see an option to use generative AI to create the alt text. If this is something you are comfortable with,

  1. Press generate by AI assist.

  2. After the text is generated, review the caption. Press the check mark in the lower left corner, which will populate the text in the text box.

  1. Press ’Save All’ to save your alt text. 

You can also provide your own alt text without using AI. Complete steps 1-2 and then write your own text in the text box and continue to step 5.  

Please make sure all your images posted have alt text. If you have a student generating content for you, please ensure they are adding alt text.
