In an effort to make menus shared on the web more accessible to people with disabilities, MustHaveMenus has added features to provide alternate text to graphics, images, and menu icons.
The ADA Text will be available for Embed Code, Share links and PDF files.
Images uploaded on or after September 27, 2024 will display the Accessibility Text automatically prompted on initial upload.
Images uploaded prior to September 27, 2024 can retroactively have descriptions added by Adding Accessibility Text.
Please watch this video demonstrating the process:
Adding ADA Text via the Accessibility Text Auto Prompt
From within the design editor Upload an image.
After an image is uploaded, a pop up will appear.
Provide a description for the image, and select Done.
When uploading a new image, there is also the option to Skip for now.
Retroactive Adding Accessibility Text
Accessibility Text can be added in two (2) ways for uploaded graphics, if not entered upon initial upload.
The following process can be used to retroactively add Accessibility Text to graphics uploaded prior to the launch of this feature.
Adding Accessibility Text from My Uploads
Select Graphics > My Uploads.
Hover over any image. In the upper right corner, an icon with a ... (Ellipsis) will appear. Select the ... (Ellipsis).
Several options will appear. Select ADA Text.
Add the image description and select Done.
Adding Accessibility Text from the Toolbar
If using graphics from stock image libraries, the Toolbar access will be the only way to add ADA Text.
Select any graphic on the design.
On the top toolbar, select the ADA icon.
Add the image description and select Done.
The images on the design will now have ADA Accessibility Text which will allow for a screen reader to pick up on the descriptions.
The Accessibility Text will be present through Embed Codes, Share links and PDF files.
Access the referenced menu and run it through a screen reader by clicking here.

Guideline 1.1 – Text Alternatives
Provide text alternatives for any non-text content so that it can be changed into other forms people need, such as large print, braille, speech, symbols or simpler language.
