Re: Screen Readers & Alt Text in Word

JAWS 13 used to read both the title and description but with updates has
stopped reading either of them. It does identify images as "Slash"

Use Ctrl + Shift + letter O to get a list of objects in the document and the
Alt Text should be readable/identified. You can use this for testing to
ensure that all images/objects have Alt text.

Not reading Alt text is a long standing bug with JAWS.
