Find issues with your image alt text easily and fix them faster with Fix Alt Text. You can even force users to use alt text when adding images in Gutenberg or Classic editors.

== Description ==

It is increasingly important for you to make your images meet accessibility standards. Images must have alternative text (alt text) added so that the visually impaired can use screen readers to understand the purpose and context of the image displayed on the screen.

In addition to making your site more accessible, using alt text helps your site rank better in search engines. This is an added SEO benefit for marketers.

Unfortunately, as a site grows, it becomes difficult and time-consuming to edit and maintain image alt text. Fix Alt Text plugin can help you discover where alt text is needed, quickly fix issues, and even force users to input alt text as images are used throughout the site in the future.

=== Features: ===
* Find Usage: Easily find all uses of alt text by scanning the site
* Find keyword usage: Search for specific keywords used in alt text
* Inline Editing: Instantly edit alt text without manually editing and searching through the content of a post, attachment, or custom post type
* Detect Issues: Quickly identify issues with your alt text to assist you in ADA compliance
* Toggle Features: Control which features are active for maximum flexibility
* Tool Access: Control which user roles have access to the plugin
* Settings Access: Control which user roles have access to changing settings
* Global Settings: In a multisite setup, save time by using global settings and select which sites will inherit those settings
