Subject: [WebAIM] High Volume Alt Text

I'm looking for vendors to write alternative text for the images in all of
our college products, and I thought the list might have some recommendations
for reliable vendors for this sort of work. The goal is to have multiple
options to spread out the work (one book can have >2000 images) and to
ensure quality alt text for complex subjects since we offer books for
everything from introductory biology to upper-level economics.

Most of the other components (reading order, tag mapping, links,
interactives, metadata, etc.) are being handled in-house, but there's no
getting around the scope of the alt text component.

Thanks,
Evan
