Do screen readers announce an image within Rise if no alt text is added?
Hi All:)

Hi Zanel! To hide an image from screen readers when it’s decorative or doesn't add important context to your course, just add two double quotes ("") to the alternate text to make it null, and screen readers will skip it (don't worry about cover photos, we made it so that screen readers ignore them).
Otherwise, screen readers will announce that there is an image without any additional alt-text context. More details on alt text here!
