Make my social posts accessible with alt text and captions
Accessibility fixes for social posts: alt text, caption formatting, hashtags, emoji use, and video captions.
The prompt
Make my social media content accessible.
Post copy: [PASTE]
Images or video: [DESCRIBE EACH IMAGE or paste a video transcript]
Platform: [LIST]
Purpose of each visual: [e.g. "chart showing growth", "team photo at event"]
Do this:
1. Write alt text for each image: describe what matters for the post's purpose, under ~125 characters where possible, no "image of", include any text that appears in the image. For charts, state the key takeaway and the main data points.
2. Rewrite the caption for screen readers: hashtags in CamelCase (#ContentMarketing), emojis kept to a few and not in the middle of sentences, no fancy Unicode fonts, line breaks for scannability.
3. For video: confirm captions, write on-screen text for key points, and draft an audio description note if visuals carry meaning not spoken aloud.
4. If I've shared the image itself, check color contrast and how much text is baked into the graphic; otherwise give me a quick contrast and on-image-text checklist to run myself.
5. Flag flashing content or anything that could trigger photosensitivity.
Return: the revised post, alt text per image, and a short checklist I can reuse for future posts.

How this prompt is built
This prompt follows the RTF structure (Role, Task, Format). RTF tells the model who to be, what to do and what shape the answer should take. It is the quickest structure that still gives noticeably better results than a bare request.
