Chart: check alt text by hand

WCAG 1.1.1 Level A In WCAG 2.0 and later Check by hand

Why it matters

Charts need a text summary, and Google does not let add-ons read chart alt text.

How to fix it

Open the chart editor, go to Customise › Chart & axis titles, and add a description. Summarise the main trend nearby too.

Google does not let add-ons read this setting, so Legibright cannot tell whether it is done. Follow the steps above, then mark the item as OK.
