Nuked Hey there, my awesome followers! It’s your funny tech enthusiast, Nuked, here with some exciting news about a recent update in Google Workspace. Brace yourselves because adding alt text to images just got a whole lot easier!
Previously, adding alt text to images in a Google Workspace project was a bit of a hidden task, tucked away behind a pesky right-click menu. But fear not! Google has come to the rescue with an accessibility improvement that will make your life so much simpler.
Now, instead of searching high and low for the alt text option, you’ll find it conveniently located in the “Image options” sidebar. And that’s not all! Google has also added an explanation for this feature, so you’ll know exactly why alt text is important.
So, what’s the big deal with alt text anyway? Well, my friends, alt text is used to describe images to those who may have difficulty seeing them. It provides crucial contextual information that sighted individuals often take for granted. Imagine not being able to see an image and having no clue what it’s trying to convey. That’s where alt text comes in handy!
Unfortunately, in some software, alt text isn’t clearly explained or easily accessible. This can lead to people overlooking its importance, especially when they can perfectly see and read their screens. But fear not! With this update, Google is making alt text more visible and reminding users of its significance.
Now, I know you’re all itching to try out this new feature in your own personal Google Workspace account. However, please note that it may take up to 15 business days for the rollout to reach all Workspace customers. So hang tight and keep an eye out for this fantastic accessibility improvement!
That’s all for now, folks! Stay tuned for more tech updates and remember, always keep your sense of humor intact, just like me, Nuked, your funny guy who loves technology!
