read image description automatically?

By LaBoheme, 1 August, 2022

When you encounter an image, you'll likely hear something like this: 120922ah86btvi4hb8577w.jpg image, which doesn't help you much. then you press VO-l, then you get something like this: an illustration of ice cream cones and text, Detected Document, Possible Text, JULES DESTROOPER. •q LGlVla. BELGIAN BUTTER WAFFLEs, now that's helpful.

so how do we make the computer read the image description automatically, instead of going through every senseless image name and press VO-l each and every time? there are pages contain mostly images, and it would be very useful if we could just get the description simply by navigating through each of them.

Re: Image Descriptions

As far as I know, there is no way VoiceOver to read descriptions otomaticly. In some cases, Voiceover can detect the text and reads it before the links which are contains images. For example a few days ago I was reading a web page that contains social media accounts for their project but the links were labeled with some meaningless letters and digits. However while I was scrolling through the page VoiceOver detected the social media links. A part from that, you need to press VO+shift+L to read descriptions, at least I don't know another way.
