Generate meaningful alt text for articles in seconds

If you create content for the web, adding alt text is a must. But instead of guessing how to describe your visuals, I’ve built a workflow that helps me generate high-quality alt text in seconds — using a screenshot tool, annotation, and a ready-made prompt in TypingMind. It’s fast, clear, and much more helpful than “Screenshot of a chart.”
