 Is it possible to use the image caption as image ALT text? If you view a
 single image like this one:

 https://wordpress.org/photos/photo/44161bb082/#main

 Google Chrome tries to announce to screen readers what the image appears
 to be but the caption gives a better description. Temporarily, should use
 the caption for ALT text until ALT text can be provided on upload.

 I tried to track down the theme to make a patch, but it seems it is not
 open sourced:
