Good alt text is what you'd say about the image if you were reading aloud to a blind friend: a brief, well-judged remark that lets them follow along, not a clinical pixel inventory. Consider:
Photographs. Subject + action. Include named people/places/objects when they matter to the surrounding text; omit when they don't.
Screenshots. Describe the UI state.
Diagrams/architecture. Name components and relationships in reading order. High level first, then details.
Charts/plots. Lead with the takeaway. Include specific values only if they matter.
Memes/reaction images. Describe what's happening in a way that conveys the joke or feeling.
Decorative images. Use alt="" (no alt text). Mention this if you suspect it applies.
Functional images (buttons, icons). Describe the function, not the appearance, unless the appearance is the point.
Captions serve a different purpose entirely: they assume the content of the image is already accessible to the reader. The caption should make a statement about it.
