Microsoft Excel is a program that everyone has encountered at least a few times in their lives.
Microsoft has added many tools to help people with disabilities use Excel.
One of these tools is Alt Text, which helps people with disabilities use Excel.

you’re free to add Alt Text to any element of your Excel document.
you could add it to a cell, a picture, or a chart.
Lets take a closer look at how this works.
This will help you make the chart more suitable for people with visual problems.
It is also ideal if you do not put long words or complex phrases there.
What is Excel alt text, and why do you need it?
Alt Text, as I wrote above, is one of the features designed for people with disabilities.
If users use Screen Narrator, instead of just saying Chart, the Narrator will say your Alt Text.
This feature is quite handy and automatically works with many screen readers.
As I said, Alt text can be added to almost any element of your Excel document.
you’re able to attach it to text or a table, pictures, and graphics.
The main thing to remember is that this text only needs to be produced by the screen reader.
So it would be best to keep that in mind when writing it.
take a stab at be concise and clear about what youre attaching Alt Text to.
Also, avoid complicated and ambiguous words so your description will be easier to understand.
The first thing you should start with is collecting data.
For example, you might use the Plus button to insert or remove items from the chart.
Also note that if you change the data in your table, the graph will change in real-time.
I recommend exploring the entire toolbar of your chart to make it as simple and attractive as possible.
What other ways to see or edit alt text in Excel?
To do this, you need the created graph and the toolbar at the top of the excel.
