✨ High-Impact Contributions 1
I launched Alt-o-Matic, a free PowerPoint add-in that automates bulk alt-text workflows. The tool exports all images into a spreadsheet, allows presenters to add accurate alt text for each image/element, and re-imports the file to apply alt text instantly. This removes one of the biggest barriers to accessible slide creation and dramatically reduces manual remediation time. The tool has already been widely shared and adopted, giving designers, educators, and corporate teams an easier way to meet accessibility standards.
