What is Alt Text Fixer?
Alt Text Fixer is a VS Code extension designed to improve web accessibility by automatically detecting and fixing missing or empty alt attributes in image tags.
Problem
Users have to manually check and add alt text to images in their code, which is time-consuming and prone to human error, leading to accessibility compliance issues and poor user experience for visually impaired audiences.
