# Accessibility

DAM Accessibility

The Accessibility settings can be managed under the *Settings / Library / Storage / Accessibility menu.*

**Alt text**\
This feature allow you to automatically generate short AI text multilingual descriptions for images uploaded in the DAM \
\
*Alt text metadata* is the custom metadata used to store text descriptions: it must be a short-text type with language variant, so the AI-generated descriptions can be stored for all languages enabled in the project

*Description length* defines how detailed the AI-generated description is:

* **Micro** → a single very short sentence focusing on the main element (goal of 40 chars)
* **Short** → one concise sentence, adding background or secondary elements (goal of 160 chars)

{% hint style="info" %}
The maximum number of characters is given as a goal to the AI, and it could be slightly overshot to preserve accuracy of description if the scenery is complex, requiring more, precise or longer words.
{% endhint %}

To generate the description, you can either use the *default prompt* or create your own *custom prompt* and insert metadata values for dynamic description: if an inserted metadata has no value or is too long, the system falls back to the default prompt.

{% hint style="info" %}
Custom prompts need to be written in English (other languages are not supported yet) and be no more than 50 words.
{% endhint %}
