New: AI-Generated Alt Text for Effortless Accessibility

Your social wall tells a story, but do you know if everyone can access it? With website inclusivity becoming table stakes, there is now an increasing need to make it accessible for every type of user. Which is why we have built something timely, to help your website tick off those compliance boxes. Read on! 

The era of accessibility is here 

We’re excited to introduce AI Alt Text, a new feature now live in Flockler—designed to help make your content more accessible and keep you ahead of evolving web standards.

From products shot, to customer UGC, and updates from your social handles, Flockler’s AI Alt Text will add human-quality descriptions automatically to this content—no manual effort needed. This provides website visitors with visual impairments or reading difficulties the context they need, especially when using screen readers.

Why are we launching this now? Say hello to EAA

A critical law, the European Accessibility Act (EAA), is coming into effect on June 28, 2025—just about a month away. The goal? To ensure that people with disabilities aren’t excluded from accessing digital products and services, including websites, apps, and online tools like social feeds!

If your organization serves users in the EU, this applies to you. 

The EAA points to an internationally recognized set of rules called the ‘WCAG 2.1 (Web Content Accessibility Guidelines)’. These guidelines outline exactly how to structure and present digital content to make it accessible for everyone.

And WCAG highlights Alt Text as one of the key markers of ‘accessibility’ on websites with visual elements like buttons, images, and social feeds. A simple miss in adding context to these elements can potentially result in legal risk and fines, besides risking the exclusion of many website visitors.

By using an image recognition AI engine to automatically generate Alt Text, Flockler is going to help ensure that your business can:

• Protect your brand from compliance pitfalls
• Deliver an inclusive experience to all visitors
• Meet EAA deadlines without scrambling
• Save time on manual website optimization 
• Meet global web standards while boosting SEO
