Comment (by michelleweber):

 For the Alt Text copy, can we just be super direct? I wouldn't belabor it,
 and just be as clear as possible about the main purpose for including Alt
 Text. Something like:

 > Alt Text is a verbal description/explanation of an image. It’s used by
 screen readers, and allows people with vision impairments to get a sense
 of the image’s content. Alt Text is recommended for all key images used on
 a website.

 (I prefer "description," but if there's a reason that word isn't
 appropriate here, "explanation" also works.)

 If you need something shorter:

 >  Alt Text is a verbal description/explanation of an image that allows
 people with vision impairments to get a sense of the image’s content.
