# Button alt text

 * Hi, I am using the slider view with the navigation buttons along the bottom. 
   When I run a performance test, I get accessibility alerts since there is no alt
   text on the buttons that refers to the slide. When viewing with a screen reader,
   the only information given is “button,” with no information about what the button
   is for. Is there a way to somehow describe the button function?
 * Thanks

 * Hi [@nubiesan](https://wordpress.org/support/users/nubiesan/)
 * Thanks for using MetaSlider. We have an accessibility guide here that may help:
   [https://www.metaslider.com/docs/accessibility/](https://www.metaslider.com/docs/accessibility/).
   In the “ARIA Current” section you’ll see that the buttons are labeled with role
   =”button” and that should work for screenreaders.
