+<h2>Why is this an issue?</h2>
+<p><code>alt</code> attributes, also known as "alt tags" or "alt descriptions," are used to specify alternative text that is rendered when an image
+cannot be displayed. They are crucial for improving web accessibility, as they provide a text description of images for users who rely on screen
+readers.</p>
+<p>Screen readers announce the presence of an <code>img</code> element and read its <code>alt</code> attribute aloud to describe the image. If the
+<code>alt</code> attribute includes words like "image", "picture", or "photo", it leads to redundancy as the screen reader would repeat "image". For
+instance, an <code>alt</code> attribute like "image of a sunrise" would be read as "Image, image of a sunrise", unnecessarily repeating "image".</p>
+<p>Instead, the <code>alt</code> attribute should focus on describing the content of the image, not the fact that it is an image. This makes the
+browsing experience more efficient and enjoyable for users of screen readers, as they receive a concise and meaningful description of the image
+without unnecessary repetition.</p>
+<h2>How to fix it</h2>
+<p>To fix this issue, you should revise the <code>alt</code> attribute of your <code>img</code> elements to remove any instances of the words "image",
+"picture", or "photo". Instead, provide a concise and accurate description of the image content that adds value for users who cannot see the
+image.</p>
+<h3>Code examples</h3>
+<h4>Noncompliant code example</h4>
+<pre data-diff-id="1" data-diff-type="noncompliant">
+function MyImage() {
+ return &lt;img src="sunrise.jpg" alt="image of a sunrise" /&gt;; // Noncompliant: "Image, image of a sunrise"
+}
+</pre>
+<h4>Compliant solution</h4>
+<pre data-diff-id="1" data-diff-type="compliant">
+function MyImage() {
+ return &lt;img src="sunrise.jpg" alt="a sunrise over a mountain range" /&gt;;
+}
