Read aloud and Alt text

Two questions: 

1) When I am checking OCR, it would be useful if I could have a Read aloud option, so I can just listen and read from the original text to see that it is correct. Does this exist? 

2) ALT text: When I have scanned a text with images and identified something as an image, can I add the alt text to that image frame, so that when I export to PDF, it has an image description? 
Thanks

    Hi Ros, thank you for your questions! Unfortunately, reading aloud and adding or editing ALT text for pictures are not available in FineReader PDF. Exporting to PDF/UA will automatically add generic ALT tags to the pictures in the document, however editing them would require an external software.

    I will forward your request to the product team. 

    Best regards, Yuriy

    Hello!  Regarding ALT text, has editing been added to ABBYY OCR Editor in the years since this post was originally created?  Documentation does not indicate one way or the other, and this is a feature my institution would like to utilize.

    Thank you!
