Screen readers can then read the alt text to people who may have difficulty seeing the objects. The screen reader first reads the title. The person can then decide whether to hear a longer description”. Click OK.
*Artistic Filters= You can add a artistic touch to the image by choosing the options from Marker, Pencil Grayscale, Pencil sketch, line drawing, chalk sketch, paint strokes, paint brush, Glow diffused, Blur, Light screen, Watercolor sponge, Film grain, Mosaic bubbles, Glass, Cement, Texturiser, Crisscross Etching, Pastels smooth, Plastic wrap, Cutout, Photocopy, Glow edges. You choose the transparency and smoothness as well. Continue to select each and see the image change on the PowerPoint slide. Once you like it, press OK.
