Let’s set the scene: You’ve built a beautifully designed website with stunning imagery. But here’s the problem—those very images could be silently hurting your search rankings and excluding millions of users. Why? Because your images don’t have proper alternative text.

Welcome to the often-overlooked, but incredibly crucial world of alt text—and more importantly, welcome to the solution. At Corpowid, we’ve developed an advanced, AI-powered accessibility widget that doesn’t just generate alt text—it injects it directly into your site, automatically, without needing access to your CMS or any coding. In other words: Yes, you can automate your alt text. And no, you don’t have to lift a finger.

Let’s dive in.

The Alt Text primer: More than just words

Alt text (also called alternative text, alt description, or image description) is the textual representation of an image. It serves two essential functions: it allows screen readers to describe images to visually impaired users, and it helps search engines understand the content of images.

Alt text is the bridge between visuals and understanding—for both people and machines. It brings your images to life for users who can't see them, and it can significantly boost your site’s visibility in image searches and general SEO. In fact, Google's SEO Starter Guide explicitly recommends adding descriptive alt text to images.

But here’s the catch: manually writing alt text for thousands—or even hundreds of images—isn’t practical for most businesses.

Why Alt Text matters more than you think

Let’s put it simply. If your website isn’t using alt text correctly, you’re:

Alienating users who rely on screen readers
Losing out on valuable image-based SEO traffic
Risking non-compliance with digital accessibility laws like WCAG and ADA

According to WebAIM’s Screen Reader Survey, image alt text is among the most critical content for visually impaired users. Still, it’s one of the most neglected areas of web accessibility.

From a business standpoint, this isn’t just about being inclusive. It’s about being discoverable, credible, and legally protected.

A glimpse at the worst practices

Let’s quickly address what not to do. You’ve probably seen these sins on websites before:

Using the image file name (like photo_2039.jpg) as the alt text
Leaving alt text fields empty
Stuffing them with keywords like "cheap shoes best shoes online shop buy now"
Repeating the same generic phrase like "Product Image" across dozens of pages

These aren’t just poor practice—they can harm your SEO, frustrate screen reader users, and may be flagged by automated tools like Google Lighthouse or Pagespeed Insights.

Effective alt text should be:

Meaningful
Context-aware
Concise and descriptive

It’s a user experience feature, not an SEO hack.

The real problem: Time, scale, and complexity

Here’s a sobering thought: if you have an e-commerce website with 500,000 images and a team member can manually handle 30 images per hour, it will take roughly 2083 days (that’s nearly 6 years) for just one person to finish the job.

Even with five people working full-time on it, you’re looking at over 400 days. Add to that the time needed for reviews, multi-language support, CMS limitations, and the possibility of new images being added regularly—and you’ve got an impossible task.

And this isn’t just a big brand problem. Even smaller sites with a few thousand images often lack the resources or tools to manage alt texts effectively.

That’s where automation becomes not just helpful—but necessary.

Corpowid’s game-changing automation: AI meets accessibility

Most AI tools that claim to generate alt texts stop at the content generation step. You still have to take that text and implement it manually through your CMS or codebase.

Corpowid does more.

We provide a complete end-to-end solution:

AI-Powered Scanning: Our system crawls your entire website and detects every image—whether it’s in your banners, product galleries, or hidden in scripts.
Smart Dashboard: Once scanned, you get access to a dashboard where you can see every image and its corresponding alt text. You can filter by page, search by keyword, or sort by missing alt text.
One-Click Alt Text Generation: Choose to generate all alt texts with one click or just fill in the blanks using our "Fill Empty Alt Texts Only" option. You’re in control.
Multilingual Support: Serving international markets? Generate image descriptions in multiple languages to localize your accessibility efforts.
Real-Time Implementation: This is our crown jewel. Once changes are confirmed in the dashboard, they are automatically injected into your live website—no coding, no CMS access required.
Analytics & Reporting: View image count, missing alt percentages, and completion ratios to stay informed and improve continuously.

What sets Corpowid apart isn’t just what we generate—it’s what we do with what we generate.

Who benefits from this?

Everyone. But especially:

SEO agencies looking to scale their services
E-commerce companies with large product catalogs
Bloggers and publishers aiming for inclusive content
Digital agencies managing multiple client websites
Corporate marketing teams focused on brand accessibility and compliance

You no longer have to choose between accessibility and efficiency.
