Every image on this page is real, and none of them has alt text written in — except one, on purpose. Turn on Isharat's Describe Images tool below and watch it work, live, on photos, illustrations, people, and text, at whatever detail level you choose.
Upload any image and see exactly what Isharat's AI writes for it — the same engine that describes images automatically on websites where the Isharat widget is installed. You will get three descriptions of the same image at increasing levels of detail, so you can choose how much you want to hear.

Your image is sent to be described and is then deleted. It is not published on this site, not added to any gallery, and not kept after the description is produced. Location and camera information stored inside the photo is removed before processing.
Describing your image…
The engine's own certainty about this description — not a guarantee of accuracy.
No account, no setup — the same widget already running across isharat.net.
Click the Isharat icon in the bottom corner of this page, or press Ctrl + /.
Find "Describe Images" in the toolbar and pick a detail level — short, medium, or detailed.
Every image below gets described in real time. Try switching levels on the same image to compare.
Everything below is reachable by keyboard, and status changes are announced through an ARIA live region so your screen reader isn't interrupted mid-sentence.
Press Ctrl + /, or open the Isharat toolbar and choose Describe Images. Your screen reader announces that descriptions are being generated.
Short, Medium, or Detailed. Short is the default and works best for scanning; Detailed transcribes text-heavy images in full.
Images that already have human-written descriptions are left alone. Switch on Override human alt text if you'd rather have the AI look afresh.
Descriptions are written into each image's real alt attribute, so NVDA, JAWS, and VoiceOver read them like any other alt text.
Tap the floating Isharat button — or double-tap it if TalkBack or VoiceOver is running.
A spoken cue confirms the tool is active.
The same three levels and the same override switch, in the mobile panel.
Drag your finger across the images below. TalkBack and VoiceOver speak each description as you land on it.

1200 × 750 px · 16:10 · WebP + PNG · EN and AR variantsEach image below tests something different: a real documentary photograph, a posed group of people, a hand-drawn cartoon, an image where the entire content is text, and — in one case — an image that already has proper alt text, so you can see what respecting existing accessibility work actually looks like.
Unstaged, real photos — the kind that make up most images on any real website, and the kind visitors encounter constantly without a description.
Each year, millions of Muslims travel to Mecca, Saudi Arabia, for Hajj — the pilgrimage every able Muslim is asked to complete once in their lifetime. For a few days, nationality, language, and wealth fall away: everyone wears the same simple white garments, called ihram, as a visible sign of equality. It's one of the largest recurring human gatherings on Earth.
Some of the best meals happen at a small table wedged onto a sidewalk, under someone else's awning. Streets like this one, on the Greek island of Corfu, are lined with family-run tavernas that spill into the walkway the moment the weather allows it — no reservation needed, just an empty chair.
There's a reason so many of us picture the coast when we imagine a proper holiday: the sound of waves, the particular color only shallow, sunlit water seems to have, and sand that hasn't been touched yet this morning.
Accessibility only means something if it works for everyone testing it — not just one kind of visitor. This photo alone spans several nationalities, ages, and genders.
Put five strangers side by side and you'll rarely find two life stories that match. This kind of everyday, unposed variety — different backgrounds, genders, and ages — is exactly what a good image description needs to notice and represent fairly, without stereotyping and without ignoring it either.
Cartoons, icons, and drawings show up everywhere online — in children's content, marketing, and apps — and they need describing too, in a way that's honest about being a drawing, not a photo.
Illustrated characters like this one are built to be instantly likeable — round shapes, big eyes, a simple color palette. They're everywhere in children's apps and friendly brand mascots, and a good description should be able to tell it's a drawing, not mistake it for a real photo.
Some images carry no visual scene at all — the entire point is the text baked into the picture itself. A screen reader can't select text that's actually pixels, so the description has to read it out, in whichever language it's written.
Long before digital fonts, Arabic lettering artists hand-drew every headline and caption for magazines and books, panel by panel. Pages like this one, pulled from a vintage Arabic magazine, carry text that only exists as ink on paper — there's no separate copy of it anywhere else.
Quote posters like this one are a design staple — a short line of encouragement, laid out as its own piece of art. Like the page above, every word here lives only inside the image itself.
Good accessibility work already exists on plenty of images out there, written by authors, designers, and accessibility experts who took the time to do it properly. A responsible tool should recognize that and leave it alone, not overwrite it.
This photo, of Mount Esja in Iceland catching the last light of a winter sunset, already has a proper, human-written alt attribute in its HTML. It's here so you can compare: a good existing description, sitting quietly in the code, doing its job long before any AI tool gets involved — exactly the kind of work Isharat is built to respect, not replace.
All eight images are real, freely-licensed photos and illustrations, used here as-is for testing purposes:
