AI Alt Text Check — Sample Page

Same image, seven different alt values. The results below come from running A11yBarker's AI Check with image vision enabled — the AI sees both the alt text and the actual photo, so it can catch inaccuracies like a wrong breed, not just vague wording.

(no alt attribute)
MISSING

No alt attribute on a meaningful image of a dog's face.

alt=""
DECORATIVE WRONG

Empty alt signals decorative, but the dog's face is the main content.

image
alt="image"
TOO GENERIC

Generic placeholder — describes nothing about the actual content.

dog
alt="dog"
TOO GENERIC

Subject is correct but too vague — no breed, pose, or framing detail.

a brown dog
alt="a brown dog"
TOO GENERIC

Adds colour but still lacks breed, name, or compositional detail.

a Shiba Inu sitting on the sofa looking at the camera
alt="a Shiba Inu sitting on the sofa looking at the camera"
TOO GENERIC

Specific-sounding but factually wrong — the dog is a Golden Retriever, not a Shiba Inu.

Tifa, a Golden Retriever, sitting on the sofa looking at the camera
alt="Tifa, a Golden Retriever, sitting on the sofa looking at the camera"
GOOD

Name, breed, pose, and location — specific, accurate, and complete.
