 The biggest difference between Image Descriptions for Human Narration and Image Descriptions for Alt-text is the length and amount of detail included in your description.
+Begin each description with the phrase: ''BEGIN IMAGE DESCRIPTION (Location)'' and end each description with the phrase: ''END IMAGE DESCRIPTION (Location)''.
+After each description, if there is a caption, transcribe the caption beginning with the phrase: ''Caption Reads: ...''
+When describing cover images, begin with the following: ''cover: [Title][: Subtitle]. [AuthorName AuthorSuname]. [Image Description]. [Praise quotation by Attribution text].''
+For example: ''cover: Awesome Title: Of a Really Cool Book. Sarah Smith. A colour photograph of a single red rose laying in the pale white snow. "You do not want to miss this book that is about cool things!" by Mr. Critic Person.''
 <note tip>Listening to a video, movie, or show with described video on is a good way to understand how to write for time constraints.</note>
