A tagged PDF can still arrive with figures that have no description, and the gap is countable before you fix it.
Turn figure count, figures with alt text, and writing minutes into a coverage share and the hours to close it.
Designers and publishers preparing a batch of PDFs for public release.
Use the source document or official route that applies to your situation. This guide does not contact another person or verify external information.
Count images, charts, and diagrams that carry meaning. Decorative images do not need a description.
Count the figures whose alt text you would keep as written.
Write one and time it. Charts take longer than simple images.
The App shows the share already described before you plan the work.
The hours are the missing figures multiplied by your writing time.
One hundred and twenty figures with 45 described leaves 75 missing. At six minutes each that is 450 minutes, or 7.50 hours.
Use your own source and details. The example is not a record about a real person or organization.
Two PDF batches. Both are examples.
Both cases are examples, not records about a real person. The bars show the same numbers the free App computes.
