Piph Author automatically generates standardized alt text for chemical structures and reactions, so you can meet ADA Title II requirements in minutes, not months.
Create up to 10 accessible images with our free trial, no credit card needed

By April 2027, public universities will be required to make digital course content accessible to screen reader users. For chemistry instructors, that means every chemical structure image needs proper alt text.
Piph Author takes the cognitive load off you. Draw or import your structure, and we generate the alt text automatically. Standardized, accurate alt text that is ready to embed.

Draw any chemical structure or reaction and Piph generates standardized, ADA-compliant alt text instantly.
Already using ChemDraw? Import your existing files directly, no need to redraw anything. Your years of existing content can be made accessible without starting over.
Export images with alt text baked into the metadata. Your descriptions are written and ready to paste into Canvas, Brightspace, Blackboard, PowerPoint, or Word.
Already started making content accessible with Piph? Re-import your SVG or PNG files to continue editing without starting from scratch.
Use Piph Author's drawing tools to build a chemical structure or reaction scheme, or paste a structure from a ChemDraw sketch file.
Our AI model reads your structure and produces standardized alt text that accurately describes it for screen reader users.
Download your image as an SVG or PNG with alt text embedded in the metadata, ready to be pasted in any LMS.
We interviewed organic chemistry instructors across the country about ADA Title II. Here's what they told us.
"The descriptions are the most time-consuming part. Each packet takes about 3 hours and that's not even writing clear descriptive text. That's just saying 'this is an organic reaction.'"
"The administration says you need to do this, but nobody's got good ideas. There's not a lot of organized effort about how to make this happen."
"If there's just some way to get the bulk of the text there in the beginning — have it generate something that's somewhat reasonable, then we can fine tune it. That's much less daunting than having to generate all of this ourselves."
