View submission: Accessibility Updates to Mod Tools: Part 1
You can now add body text on link posts, so wouldn't that be a suitable place to put image transcriptions? You can interact with that body text using Automoderator just like on any other text post.

No, because alt text on images is a specific object on web pages that accessibility tools know to look for. It is **not** the same as adding text to a post.

Alt text is a specific thing that works with screen readers and other accessibility tools. Body text is not the same.
