Ever stared at your screen, wondering how to write alt text, wishing you had someone who understood exactly what you needed and could do it for you in a flash?
Or worse, ever tried asking AI to describe an image, only to receive a mediocre (at best) description that was completely unusable?
Yeah, we’ve been there. As much promise as AI brings, its reliability is about as good as a fair weather friend. But sometimes you just don’t have the time to coordinate high quality human-generated descriptions. So what are you supposed to do?
Luckily, you no longer have to choose speed OR quality. Now you can have both.
Introducing Bestie by Scribely, the image accessibility BFF you’ve been waiting for. Bestie is an alt text express ordering service that features the expert human touch you’ve come to expect from Scribely, all with speedy delivery times to ensure you meet your deadlines.

They smile at each other as they link arms and pinky fingers like they are doing a pinky swear.You know that accessibility requirements are necessary for making your digital content available to your entire audience.
