Professional alt-text writing Services

43,000+ images processed

2000+ subject experts

Editage has been helping top publishers in the US and Europe by offering professional alternative text (Alt-text) writing services to help make their content accessible to sight-impaired readers.

Making print and digital content accessible to all potential users is both an opportunity and a challenge for all publishers. While there are software tools to convert text to speech or braille, converting images to alt text is a challenge because it requires highly skilled alt-text writers with subject matter expertise. Fortunately, Editage has one of the largest teams of such writers.

We work with some of the best native-speaking alt-text writers in the industry who also have deep technical knowledge of their subject area. Over the last two years, we have written alt text for 43,000+ images of varying complexities and in subject areas spread across medicine, life sciences, humanities, social sciences, engineering, and physical sciences.

How it works

Publishers can provide titles, guidelines and any other specifications to our alternative text writers in any format

Input Analysis

Alt-text managers analyze the book PDF to gauge image complexity, read through the guidelines, and get any queries resolved

Image Categorization

Depending on publisher needs, alt-text managers may categorize the images into different complexities (simple/medium/complex) for the publisher to approve before alt-text is actually written

Alt-text Writing

Subject-matter experts create short and/or long alt-text based on image complexity

Review and Revision

Alt-text is reviewed for language, accuracy, and comprehensiveness

What you will receive

The deliverable files will include alt-text written for each image
