When Chrome speaks an image that has no accessible label, the wording you hear may be a computer-generated description, not the caption written by the page author. Keep those sources separate when using a screen reader.
A fictional example: one picture, three possible labels
Hypothetical example: A webpage contains an unlabelled illustration of a person beside a table. The author has provided no caption and no alternative text. Chrome may generate a spoken description such as “a person near a table, possibly holding a cup”. The uncertain object is part of the generated interpretation; it is not proof that the illustration contains a cup.
Now compare three different cases. An author’s visible caption is text deliberately placed on the page. Supplied alternative text is information added in the page’s code for accessibility. A browser-generated description is produced when Chrome tries to make an otherwise unlabelled image understandable. These sources differ.
What the spoken wording can and cannot establish
The generated result offers a rough idea of the picture. It cannot confirm the creator’s intended subject, identify an uncertain object reliably, or replace a caption that the author chose not to provide. If the image is being used as evidence, check the surrounding text and any available author-provided label separately.
Chrome’s relevant accessibility feature may send an unlabelled image to Google so that a description can be generated. The description may be inaccurate. It is spoken for accessibility; it does not appear visually on the page and does not rewrite or modify the webpage.
Check the source before relying on it
Before repeating the description, identify whether you heard a visible caption, supplied alternative text, or generated wording. In the fictional example, report the result as an uncertain browser description rather than stating that the person definitely holds a cup. Do not convert that uncertain wording into a definite claim.
